====NOTES====
1.  Chords are in concert tuning. (It'll be in G-minor.)
    In D Standard, you'd play, e.g., x02210 for this chord.
2.  It's possible to ignore the alternations (e.g., Gm-Gsus in the intro) and just play the first chord.
    That would make this a bit easier.
3.  Ebmaj7b5 will be written as follows:
    DGCFAd
    133200
    This would make a transition from a barre Eb chord easier.

The story behind the song

This song ponders the great mystery of Stonehenge, questioning its purpose and meaning with a sense of playful bewilderment. It captures that universal human curiosity about ancient wonders, wondering why such a monumental structure was built and what it all signifies. For a duo known for their variety shows and comedic musical takes on life's absurdities, like "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)", "Stonehenge" fits right into Ylvis's unique blend of humor and catchy tunes. It’s a lighthearted meditation on the profound, inviting you to embrace the unanswered questions.
