Hi! So, I really wanted to play an acoustic version of M.I.A., but couldn't find 
any chords on the internet, so I simply sat down with my piano and tabbed it 
myself. I'm pretty sure it's about 90% accurate, or something along those lines, 
but I took the liberty of mixing up the chords a little with parallel keys, so as 
to not make it very repetitive.
