*You could play C the normal way x32010, but if you're picky
play it the way I wrote it, that's what I hear in the song.
This might not sound right at first, but if you put headphones in
and try to listen to just the acoustic guitar, not the parts overlapping it,
I'm pretty sure this is correct (the chords names might not be)*
