Notes on playing:
The C# chord is played very quickly before getting to the D chord.

I've placed it in parentheses for 2 reasons:
- One could decide to ignore it and strum down on XX0232
if they want to avoid the barred chords X46664 to X57775
and decide it sounds close enough for their taste.
- Every chord name and underscore represent the start of a measure
and the C# chord is breaking that rule. Having it in parentheses
indicates the exception.
