Throughout this tab/lesson, ^  =  downstroke  &  .  =  upstroke.

The patterns for strumming I've notated are just the way I found it easiest 
to strum....experiment!


************************************************************************************


There is already a chord tab with the chords and lyrics for this song, so
this is gonna more an explanation of how the little fills used in the
acoustic version than a full tab.

The A chord used throughout the song is to be strummed in this style:
This just repeats throughout the song.

   
   ^  ^ ^ . ^ . ^  ^ ^ . ^ .
E------------------------------|
B--2------------2--------------|
G--2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2---|
D--2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2---|
A--0--4-5-0-4-0-0--4-5-0-4-0---|
E------------------------------|


There is also another little fill where the chord changes from A to D.
This occurs usually just before the 'said na na na na na na na na' part
of the song.


   ^  ^ ^ ^  ^
E------------2---|
B--2--2-2-2--3---|
G--2--2-2-2--2---|
D--2--2-2-2--0---|
A--0--0-2-4------|
E----------------|


And the last little thing I picked up on that should be here is this little fill
Dwight sometimes uses on the D chord at the end of the chorus:


   ^  ^ ^ . ^  . ^ ^ .
E--2--2-2-2-2--3-2-0-2---|
B--3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3---|
G--2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2---|
D--0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0---|
A------------------------|
E------------------------|


Hope this helps whoever is trying to learn the acoustic version of this song!
