A word of explanation is in order: this was the first song I sounded out 
when I learned to play the guitar two and a half years ago.  Sometime after 
that, I came across a version of the song in a songbook, which was 
significantly different, but by that time I was so used to my version that 
the songbook one sounded wrong.  The songbook version uses only four chords 
for most of the song--Eb, Bb, Cm and Ab, which turn into G, D, Em and C in 
this key--plus a Gb (Bb) on the "Oh" at the end of the second chorus.  
Anyway, I hope someone can get some use out of this version (which I think 
breaks every rule of chord progressions in the book, but...), and I'll try 
to post some more *official* Maniacs in the future.
