Couldn't find chords online for this beautiful song so I thought I'd have a go myself.
If you watch Snowy Shaw play it acoustic you'll see that he uses barre chords. This is a 
simplified version using open chords and a capo. I think it sounds okay. Feel free to 
offer corrections/suggestions, bearing in mind that the idea is to keep it simple.


Capo 5th

Am             G
Right now I know it hurts
Am             G
But it'll get better

I oughta know - I do
Am           G
Wish I could take away
Am            G
All sorrow and anger
F               G                C     E7
Away from your heart, so sorry I can't
F           G
Please take my hand

Things will be better again, my friend

Life has no guarantees
Am               G
Take nothing for granted
