i noticed that some of the other versions of this song were missing chords
so i thought i’d give it a shot at doing my own . i worked this out completely
by ear , so no copying involved . it’s around 99% correct i’d say , hope you
enjoy playing this amazing song .

important note :

simon doesn’t always hit the high E string on the bottom 5 chords
on the list . a lot of the time he only plays up to the B string but it
still sounds good if you play the high E too , it just depends on what kind of
a build up you want to have .
