A tab already exists for this song but I wanted to make it easier to read for those interested in the chord
layout, so the credit goes to them. I don't know all the proper names for the chords so I'm just going to try
my best. Here are the non-standard ones:

For the ends of the second lines in the verses (Em7---Em6---Em--A), you don't have to play exactly those chords
in the order shown, just kind of move your fingers back and forth between them as you see fit. I just put some
there as an example.
