I think this is mostly correct except for the Dm chord, which doesn't sound perfect but
is fairly close if you omit playing the E string, making the chord something like: xx023x
If you have any corrections (especially if you can work out what the Dm should actually
be!) please email me at get.off.my.suit(at)gmail(dot)com, or submit a new version if you
are that way inclined :)
