This is the first song that i ever learnt and a great song it is too. Im sure
this is how it goes and i hope you enjoy playing it as much as i do. Ive tried
to keep it as simple as possible so it is more easier to read. If you have the
song it will be much more easier because you can listen for the timing which is
needed. Hope you enjoy!
