Hi,
None of the chord versions previously had the 3rd verse right and breakdown...so adding this in as another
version of this great song. Done best to line up words to chords but not easy with this one...
Most chords two beats unless specified with, e.g. //// for four beats etc
Intro: Gm [pluck G & D strings together fretting 15 & 17 respectively or
play chords below or you can just hang on Gm chord…]
