This is an adaptation of a youtube instructional video by dmb6105 which is located 
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvuUdePL2sA.  Most of the information in this 
tab is from that video.  I did make one or two minor corrections to the chorus 
based on how the version of the song I have sounds.  If anything I wrote seems 
unclear, check his video and you should be able to find a good explanation.
---------------------------------

How it's strummed:
Pluck the base note of the chord, then strum with the back of your fingers, ending 
by putting emphasis (i.e. plucking) the high note in the chord.  Don?t play the 
high E string at all during the song.

Capo on 7

All chords relative to capo.  First off, there?s a D that?s done like a normal C-
chord but moved up two frets (I?m gonna call it a D11 but it?s missing the 7th)

A7	(x0201x)
Am	(x0221x)
C/B	(x2001x)
C	(x3201x)

G/f#	(2000xx)
