*Notes/Notation*
X: the string is either muted or not played.
0: the string is played open.

*The A chord during the second verse is played on the "go" part of the word "ago";
I added a dash to illustrate that.*

*I am firmly rooted in omitting the B in the G chord, playing it as a 3X0033
rather than 320033, but either way will work.*

*The Bm chord is difficult for first timers-and even senior guitar players to some
degree-but just try it in barre form, and if that doesn't work, see if doing
XX4432 works better.*
