Note: The original recording is +1/2 step higher, but this is much easier to play. Also, this version is more accurate than other versions on this site because it includes the pitch change that occurs midway through the song. It also has more accurate lyrics and chords (it's G-Bm-Em not G-Bm-Am). Listen to the original and compare for yourself.
