Here's my version of the Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" for acoustic guitar. I've given the chords - just listen to the song to put them where they need to go - I like to use SUS chords in place of many Major and Minor chords because it leaves the voicings open to interpretation - However, you can replace my SUS chords with either Major or Minor chords, you'll just need to see which works best for you (the original Who version has dedicated Major or Minor chords) - it's a great song, so have fun.
