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{3} means
play 3 strums on an a chord .
