This particular version is a combination of Ledbetter's version (verses 1, 2, 3) and Van Morrison's version (Verses 4, 5). 2) The sixth verse is a repeat of the Chorus except for the final chord progression (the C and G chords from previous chord progressions are switched around to end the song) 3) The F7 chord can be replaced by an F maj 7 chord ( F-A-C-E, with low E and A strings damped out) 4) The chord progression at the end of each verse is one chord a beat 5) Some versions will cut out the Chorus a few times.
