Notes: The Dsus after the D in the 
last line of the verses isn't 
required. I play
it to give the song a slightly 
higher pitch right leading into the 
chorus. When
you play it, make sure you hit the 
first string U/U/D/U and then change
 back to a
D after that U/U/D/U strumming 
sequence. Give it a try, I think it 
sounds better
that way. Also, on the 4th line of 
second and third verses, Marc mutes 
the C
chord right after switching to it 
and finishes the line "a cappella." 
Then start
up with G again normally on the next
 line. Same thing with the last line
 on the
third verse - mute the G and then 
it's a cappella until the G in the 
beginning of the chorus.
