No disrespect intended towards previous uploaders, there has been some good 
transcriptions in standard tuning, but this one is in Open D5 tuning with a capo 
on 3rd fret like Patty plays it. 
So if you are looking for an easier version in standard tuning, either read the 
text in the bottom of this page for mine, or use one of the previous four versions 
here which are good too. 
But if you do wanna play it like this, I highly recommend that you watch the 
tutorial too, since there is alot of plucking and strumming going on that would be 
hard to explain in text here.

Free papers for this song are available in .pdf on my website, you can find the 
link in the description on the YouTube tutorial. 
Among the papers available are Lyrics & Chords, Lyrics & Chords plus (with added 
numbers of strumming pattern rounds per chord), Chord Diagrams, Tablature (on some 
parts) and Playing Patterns (strumming). 
I also have a Easy version with Standard tuning available if you think this way of 
playing is too hard, I of course also show this in the tutorial. 
If you need further help or explanations don't hesitate to ask, if it's a subject 
where other people may benefit from the answer it's best done by posting a comment 
on the tutorial, but posts here and personal messages will also be answered (though not as fast)!
