(Note: I didn't add the pull-offs Kimberly does playing the songs live, 
since I wanted to keep the difficulty level at novice. Basically she pulls 
off the A string on G, D string on Cadd9. Right after D, on the verse she 
uses Dsus4 (like  G         D-Dsus4        Cadd9      D-Dsus4). If it is 
too confusing just play the version below.)
Capo on first fret.
