IMPORTANT NOTES:
-It is recommended to listen to the song to get used to the chord changes and strumming pattern,
 as the progressions listed here are not definite.
-Although the chords "C/E" and "Am/E" are in the same shape and sound as their first letter(s) represent in
the "show chords" feature, the difference is the application of the fourth finger on the last string:
-For "C/E", play a C chord but add your fourth finger on the last string of the third fret.
-For "Am/E", play an Am chord but add your fourth finger to the last string of the third fret.
-Change chords on the last four up and down strums of the C, Am, and G6 chords.
-Capo 3rd Fret
