After analyzing the song while reading the previous chords, I determined the 
inverted A was unnecessary and incorrect. Cheers to the previous author, but all 
of the notes are in the A that is in root position. This should be 100% right, 
hopefully. :) After all, it is the same three chords throughout the entire song!
Thanks! Leave me a comment on my page if you actually care haha.
