intro: D, A, G notes: Yes this isn't the best formatting for this, but bear with me. I'm going to change the was this is set up. Also, this is tuned a HALF STEP down, but the chords you're going to play the chords as if it was standard tuning which is very important on the last part of the song. Later on I will make these chords much better. Thanks.
