Chords

[Notes]: 1. Those strums don't necessarily mean that you should strum those strings. You wouldn't really notice it because they're all like chucks to fill in the gaps. 2. There are parts where a slower strum is needed to play the tabs correctly. Those parts are notated with an asterisk (*) after the numbers.

(Strum the first chord before singing first line, then strum the next chord along with the last line "Fare thee well," and finally, strum the last chord after singing last line.) This is what happens when you want to feel accomplished during a one (1) month summer vacation. Enjoy and happy learning!!!
