Notes:

Easy song - ideal for beginners
You can replace D/F# with D and Am/G with Am if you prefer although it does sound better with the bass notes if you are playing solo.
I have included two versions of D/F# which can both be found in the Chords Tab.
The thumb version flows more smoothly from Am/G → D/F#... and sounds better.
