I added my own personal flavour, providing a wide array of D and A chords to experiment with. You can keep the
chords regular or switch them up on a whim. I'll provide a link to a YouTube video explaining this below. I
play with a capo on the 4th fret because it's more comfortable for my voice, but you can capo just about
anywhere you please. This is my first time posting chords, I hope you like it! There was a sorry lack of
chords for this song (aside from one occurrence of musical notation, which is not accessible for many)
so I took it upon myself to figure it all out.
