All chords last for 1 bar except for the intro and the part of the chorus that goes "Oh I've..." (Db EbFCDmFBb C) Two slash chords included. Of course you can leave out the note after the slash and just use the regular chord shapes. C/E x-x-2-0-1-0 Dm/C x-3-x-2-3-1
Easier to play when transposed down 3 steps. To get back to the original key put on a capo 3rd fret.
