NOTE: Nice little chord arrangement. I would suggest this to any new players
to get thier speed and fretboard-chord-capobility down. Very good song
by a very good composer. I would bash on the lyrics a little, but I'm
pretty sure this was a charity song, so I'll keep my mouth shut lol
Well... ...ENJOY!!!
