. The opening melodica solo is in G, but the chords below start from where the guitar comes in.
The lyrics are spaced out from the left margin to indicate that the chords above them are played before the
lyric is sung. I've spaced the different sections differently to indicate how long it is between when the
chord is played and the lyric is sung, relative to the other stanzas. For the exact timing, listen to the
song. Enjoy!
