(Notice how the B and G string remains the same on all of these chords. The song is basically
all built upon the D chord that you can hear throughout the entire song. What you do is 
that you just move the base around)
The chord-transitions may be a little tricky so I suggest you listen carefully to the song in order 
to fully unerstand. 
By the way, I struggeled a bit with the lyrics so feel free to leave suggestions and improvements :)
Capo 2 to play along with the song. 
<--- Or press transpose +2 and play without capo.
