Chords

This is my first contribution here, it should be somewhat correct. I recommend listening to the song while playing so you get the strumming pattern right and the switch between the chords. To match the chords with the lyrics, I have not been very consistent with how many beats every chord has, some has 2 some 4, so you need the song to get it right the first time. Also, I used a chord-finder tool online to find out what I was playing haha, so just to make sure you get to play it the same way as I did, I added the tabs for each chord manually down below. Enjoy!
