Finally, someone got it right !!!!
Great job. I like the alternate choices as well
and the fact that you put it in chords as opposed to the way others show it. I know I am capapble of figuring what strings to hit when I play it and appreciate it in the form you did it in. Makes it so much easier to understand and play.
