I think the E chords sounds better if you play an E7 chord.

My two year old daughter, Norah, loves the movie Trolls. She sings all of the songs and talks with the movie. I sing this one to her all of the time and found your tab. I can't wait to play it for her.

I disagree with the difficulty. Been playing for less than six months and I've mostly got the whole thing down. I don't think anyone should be intimidated by this song. I've got three kids, a son and two daughters. Thank you for tabbing this it means a lot to me (and hopefully) my family when I perform it for them.
