Style notes:
Chords in parentheses are optional. Feel free to skip them
if you're a beginner or if you don't like how they sound.

You may ritard (slow down) during the last 2 chords of each
verse. Alternatively, strum A7 once and let it resound until
you resume your strum/picking pattern at the first D in the
refrain.

You may also ritard at the last line of the refrain or even
repeat it.
