Notes:

Level Of Ease: All chords are easy to play and the song is suitable for beginners. The timing is a little tricky with this version but listen carefully and follow the chord chart closely... you'll soon get the hang of it.
Beginners can play the open version of the chord Bm... xx4432 - don't forget to avoid the bottom 2 strings.
The repeat sign / means you repeat the previous chord in the bar. Keeping in mind we are in 3/4 time (3 quarter-note beats per bar:
```
 1.  Am  D     2.  D   G 
 ||         /  ||         / || 
```
Bar 1: Play Am for 1 beat and D for 2 beats.
Bar 2: Play D for 1 beat and G for 2 beats:.
You can replace the G6 with a G chord but make sure to give the G6 a go because it makes for a very interesting sound. It is a very easy chord to play - just think of it as a G chord without the 3rd finger.
