One of my all-time favorite songs. Decided to spend this lazy July 4
afternoon to figure this one out. There seems to be a lot of chords,
but most of them are actually variations of the same chords, e.g., the
opening chords F# and Bmaj7 involve only shifting your ring and pinky;
C and C+ a shift of your index finger.
