---------------------------------------------
Only knowing the chords doesn't really help play this.
You have to listen to get the right 'chu_gg - chu_gg - ching - eh - eh - eh'
rhythm at the start.

Hope the layout makes sense, it was a real pain to try and 
set it out correctly. The first two lines in the verses run
together a bit.

More Jam will be posted if I have time.
