    The Story

I was looking through the chords for this song and thought... well the song sounds like
a simple song, and these tablatures look fairly complicated, at least for a beginner.

So I started strumming around on my guitar and randomly started singing the song to a 
pattern and it sounded perfect. (well to me anyway)
It is no more than 4 chords, and it is the same pattern the whole way through, so it's 
for a beginner.
Onto it!
