Simple song with simple chords in STANDARD TUNING.
Okay before the chords and lyrics there will be a simple way to play the
intro type thing that is actually a banjo.  THE CHORD STRUCTURES IN THE
TAB WILL NOT DISPLAY STRUMMING SO ITS EASY ON ME.
SINCE THERE ARE NO TABS FOR THIS BAND I MUST PROVIDE A LINK TO THEM SO
