So I decided to play around with the chords for awhile, until I realized that not
all of it is strumming (obviously)
as some would say, but
listen close enough to how the intruments are being played and you'll recognize
that the guitar is
bascially playing these chords
with simple thumb-finger plucking, uniquely I should add.
Believe me or not, this is just how I like to play it. Hope it turns out okay.

or otherwise, seemingly correct, but it really was -
"playing it by ear".
