Tumbleweed

Note: In the last verse, you could skip the F's and the Dm's, and play it the same way 
as the other verses, but I think it sounds better with the additional chords in there.
Note: Dans le dernier couplet, vous pouvez changer les F's et les Dm's et le jouer de la 
même façon que les couplets précedents, mais j'ai trouvé que ça sonne mieux avec les 
accords supplémentaires.
