Comments : I really love this song, because it's simply simple and great :-)
It also has great Lyrics in my opinion.
It sounds best with a flatpicking on an acoustic guitar. Try to play a G(6)
instead of the G in the line "So there ain't much ...". That sounds pretty
cool. Also try to play a D(9) instead of the D in some parts of the song, so
it doesn't sound the same all the time.
The Intro- and Outro Part : |D(9)- - -|D(9)- - D| can be picked something
like that :
Hammer

e |0-----------|0-----0-2---|
