There are some little stylistic riffs and whatnot, but I believe this is the main
chord progression.  
I tried to line up the chord names with the respective syllables.  
Also, the chord progressions can seem physically awkward at times, but at tempo 
they sound right.   
If there's anything I screwed up, let me know.  Enjoy.
