So, I've never written out chords for a song before. And never really thought I would.
But this is such a fun song to play that I thought I'd give it a bash.
Also, I've taken a lot from this site so I thought I'd give some back.
So here's my first attempt at figuring a song out by ear.
Also, the chords aren't always exactly above the right words, but they're generally in 
the right places.
I'm pretty sure it's accurate, and I think I've named the chords right,
but I've only been playing about 15 months so I'm FAR from an expert.
Anyway, hopefully this is close enough.
