Note: The Cadd9 is played in the verses in between the C and the F
I didn't include them in the chords below because they take
up to much room. Same thing for the A7sus4 it's played in
between the Am7 and the F. It's played real quick and is
just a hammer on but it's there. Include them if you want.
