**I included an alternate intro in case the bar chord switch is
too much. Slide the pinky from the 3rd to 5th fret if you use the
alternate intro. The chords in the entire song are the same, except
for a switch between D (1st, 4rd, and 5th) and Bm (2nd, 3rd,
6th). Going from Am7 to D I play Am-Am7-D for
more sound.
