Note: The Third Version on this website is pretty sound but it doesn't match the key that he sings it in, in the copy of the song that i have. so i thought id add this one too, to the ever growing list!! I did it with a capo so when i sing it i can drop it a step without the capo and not have to try to transpose the chords off the top of my head.(i hate doin that). Feel free to make any changes.
