INFORMATION
-----------
DON'T JUST PLAY THE CHORDS LISTED ABOVE THE BARS.
I've just included those to give a better understanding of when chord changes
occur and what the chords are at their core.
-LOOK AT THE TAB CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT FRETS NEED TO BE PLAYED.-
Note: I have not included a strumming pattern but have specified the bar
lengths for each chord, so that you are able to make your own strumming
pattern.
