version 2
Strumming rhythm: When I played this in As You Like It, I did the same steady rhythm without change until
the outro. First you hit the root note, then strum down (missing the root note so as to let that ring out
through the chord) then strum back up again, then repeat the process. Each full cycle took two beats (one
beat for the root note, one beat for strumming down then up).

Capo: The original song had no capo. To do our version capo 5th fret.
