It's such a great song ^___^ For those of you that want to play it, aren't familar with some of the chords, and are thinking you don't have anywhere near enough fingers for chords such as Gm, F, and Bb... it's really simple. You have to bar the chords. Just simply place your pointer finger across all the strings in the first fret for the F chord, and so on like with Bb you'd do the same and Gm would be the 5th fret. If the note sounds funky, you're not pressing hard enough. Don't worry, you'll get it. I figured 'em out and got 'em soundin' good after a few hours time. Anyway, that pretty much covers it.
