This is my first submission. (:
I was getting annoyed with the last one.
N.B.: Yes, the G chord is played through the whole verse. All you have to
do is hammer on the A string throughout. This should also be done in the
intro. (I have indicated where this should happen by surrounding
parentheses around the word it should be done at--the ones after the lines
should be done after, obviously.)
The bridge should be strummed down. This is the only part of the song where
I have a problem: I do not know what chord is being played at 'crazy.' I guess you could 
play Em if you don't know either. That's just a guess.
Standard Tunning
Capo on 4th fret
This song isn't hard at all!
