*so, just a note: with the picking i find it best to do something like bass and than 3
in stead of just strumming, i think it makes the song sound a bit more cabaret like it
supposed to originally... so if you were to be playing Em you would play low B and than 
G and high B... but its a fun song to play around with the picking, so leave a message if
find picking that sounds better :)
