NOTE: I went a little overboard with this song and put in a lot of the fills, etc..
   If you want a simple version look below this first tab as I have removed them
   all and just left the chords only. Also, If need be use a capo and transpose
   the chords to suit your voice.

NOTE: This is a little INTRO I play sometimes instead of the chords.
   I based it off the piano and is my interpretation of it.
