NOTES:
Tuning is one tone below standard: DGCFAD. Chords below are ACTUAL chords.
Hence, a voicing may be e.g. 022100, but the sound you'll make is a D-chord.
Although unfamiliar to some, this is a really nice tuning that enables easier
fretting of some chords. Seems several songs on this album are in that tuning!
I've included chord voicings in each section of the song as some chords are
unusual, and you won't want to keep scrolling back and forth. Again, I've
indicated which fingers to use with the "jazz" chords.

Chorus Notes:
The (Em7) is the same as the preceding chord but you lift off your little
finger on the 1st string. I put it as an optional change. On the second line,
the guitar climbs up as follows:
