Adam: <span class="mention-highlight">@David Whelan</span> I've added chord diagrams above (you may have to refresh a couple of times if you can't seem them first time). I'm not sure what fretted instrument you play but feel free to take a look at the voicings and let me know if they're more or less standard for beginner/intermediate - Cheers!

For the A part I alternate G (550003) and G (555433) and then D (000232) and D (004232) to add some movement. I like to keep the B part vanilla.

Adam: @aodancoyne I've added chord diagrams for various tunings including DADGAD. Would be great if you could have a quick look at the DADGAD voicings and let me know if you think they're beginner/intermediate friendly and just ok in general. You can change key and capo position above to check voicings in other keys too. No pressure, just thought I'd run it past you ๐Ÿ‘ Either way, a nice addition for your new app!

Adam: @Sheila this would be a nice one to learn on the ukulele. Was one of the very first I learned when Valentine introduced me to Irish music ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช
