ylvis is really talented musically , in addition to being funny . their chord selection
here attests to that .
i recommend listening to the song for the exact timing of the chords , but the way they
are written here should provide some useful indication .
this version makes a greater use of open chords , and those who are into using such
chords should find it more suitable .
