tuning : standard

* * * note : i’m not 100% sure that the B7 chord is the correct chord . i know it
has A B note in it and it sounded closer than Em , B , or G . if you think you’ve
figured it out let me know! also , play the song in a polka fashion , waltzy if
you will in A 3/4 time signature i believe ( never took music theory . . . )
