Love this song from the minute I first heard it and have only found one other version of
chords,(no lyrics tho') which helped me put this together, (my first on
ultimate-guitar) I think this version is a simpler rendition and lacks the G6 chord in
the other.Also gives and idea where to change chords whilst singing
Any and all comments are welcome and any improvements you can make are gratefully received.
