-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to play and sing this song on acoustic, this is what I would suggest.
I strum as follows during the verses. This is just a guideline. You'll want to 
change strumming pattern for the chorus. Work with timing by listening to song
and playing what's comfortable for you.
