Notes:
This is an edited version of Ver4, I fixed the mistakes. Check out my Youtube 
covers http://www.youtube.com/user/joshyboy152.

The song is in 4/4 time. All chords are played for a bar. Except whenever an Fsus chord
played and F chords is played for 2 beats then play Fsus for 2 beats.

Listen to the song in the Video to find out the strumming-pattern, it's pretty easy.

The chords are like bar chords except you use your thumb for the 6 string in this case
doesn't use his thumb or fret the high e string.
