My first tab! Huzzah! (Please be nice... haha)
This seemed easy enough to play along to the song while humming along. It wasn't 
until I YouTube'd the song that I realized how simple it really was. I hammer my 
third finger on the F and C chords, but when I completely figure out the actual 
notes to transition between chords, I shall update this tab!
