Transcribed by Darragh Egan.  I am fairly new to the guitar
(and especially to transcribing) so there may be some errors.

NOTES:  Each letter represents one full bar (4 beats).
Beginners like me may find it easier to put a capo at the second
fret and play the progression as:  D  A  G  A

          Somewhere together.  I've got a quarter.
