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.

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.
