outro (like intro)

__________________________________________________________
The original version is in a different key (FF) leading to:

Verse FF / C majorC / Bb majorBb / FF C majorC

There's also a slight difference in the chorus:

Chorus FF / C majorC / Bb majorBb / Bb majorBb A minorAm

If you're lazy, just play with capo on 5th instead...
