| you might think at first. Sorry, I don't know the lyrics yet. |

| And that little thing at the end is kind of confusing. Basically, the A |
| chord is going haywire over the A-E-F#-G bass line, but in the background |
| you can here the ukulele in the background somehow resolving to a D major |
| chord, with an appropriate A to D finish. |
