Hi, I'm Gerry Pepper from germany. English is a pretty hard language to write in,
so go easy on me with the spelling and punktuation ;)
While I'm sure the other verions of the song found here at UG are excellent, they
seem to not suit my stile of playing.
I thought this could be the case for some of you as well, so here is my chords based vesion.
I tune down 2 steps (to D flat) but it's singable in standart as well.
Have fun!

Chords:
Am: X02210
G: 32003X (Mind the alternative G Chord)
C: X32010
F: 133211
Em: 022000
To get the melodie in with the chords, I play:
Am G C F Am G C F...usw
e|----------------------0-1-0---------------------0-1|
h|--------1-3---0-1---1-------3-1---1-3---0-1---1----|...
g|------2-----0-----0-------------2-----0-----0------|
D|----2----------------------------------------------|...
A|--0-------------3-------------0-----------3--------|
E|----------3-------------1-----------3-------------1|...
Listen to the song to get the rythm down.
