A nice little song about Family. Its in drop D, but you can play it in standard. 
All chords shapes are for drop d:

DADGBe
D     000232 or D5 000235
G (320003@1)   55540x 
G/f#  45520x
Em    222000
A (x02220@1)   x02220
Bm    x24432

Where a chord is in brackets, it is implied by a couple of open strings, usually B 
and G. It can be missed, but it makes it a bit more interesting.
