I'm not sure of all the words. Also, I don't know if I'm in the right key~ my
guitar's decided on a key it likes and there's no budging it, so I've got it in
the key of D simply for my ease of playing. A key-change might be needed to play
along with the original, but I hope these chords work for you if you're playing on
your own or with your band. I hope I've made it all nice and clear. Enjoy. Love, Dan.

{for several bars. 2 strums on the D; 1 on the A. This pattern forms the basis of
the song. I'll show you how many strums to play on the rest of the chords as they
crop up, by putting a number in a twirly bracket next to the chord, eg A means
play 3 strums on an A chord.
