This one is actually accurate:

      (barre)              Thumb bass      
    A  5 7 7 6 5 5   Am/F#  2 0 2 2 1 0         F#m  2 4 4 2 2 2

      (barre)
  C#m  x 4 6 6 5 4      Bm  x 2 4 4 3 2       Fmaj7  1 3 3 2 1 0
   Am  x 0 2 2 1 0       C  0 3 2 0 1 0           G  3 2 0 0 0 3
 Am/G  3 0 2 2 1         D  x 0 0 2 3 2        

[the G on the end of the line is a 'passing' chord: one beat, one up+down
 strum, emphasis on the down... the rythm in the verse is all about the 
walk-down bass line.]
 
  Am          Am/G         Am/F#             Fmaj7,   G 
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping

Am           G          D        E
 While my guitar gently weeps

  Am          Am/G        Am/F#        Fmaj7,  G
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Am          G          C        E
 Still my guitar gently weeps

 
A             C#m  F#m     C#m       Bm                  E
 I don't know why   nobody told you   how to unfold your love

A             C#m F#m         C#m
 I don't know how  someone controlled you

Bm                    E
 They bought and sold you

 
  Am          Am/G        Am/F#       Fmaj7, G
I look at the world and I notice it's turning

Am           G          D        E
 While my guitar gently weeps

     Am       Am/G         Am/F#     Fmaj7,   G
With every mistake we must surely be learning

Am           G          C        E
 Still my guitar gently weeps
 

A             C#m  F#m         C#m
 I don't know how   you were diverted

Bm                     E
 You were perverted too

A             C#m F#m         C#m
 I don't know how  you were inverted

Bm                 E
 No one alerted you

 
  Am          Am/G        Am/F#             Fmaj7,   G
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

Am           G          D        E
 While my guitar gently weeps

Am           Am/G       Am/F#       Fmaj7, G
 Look at you all...

Am           G          C        E
 Still my guitar gently wee______ee___

Am         Am/G      ...etc.
