I have taken the best of the previous versions and put them together the way I like to play the song. I've also fixed the chord issue to sound more like the recording. 4/4 Time *Notes within "()" are to be played very lightly In the intro play both lines. For the verses, play only the second line and repeat the second line four times as indicated in chord progression. For the transition, add some light notes to the first two Am finger patterns. For example: Am ||------0-(0)-----| ||------1-(1)-----| ||------2-(2)-----| ||----2-----------| ||--0-------------| ||----------------| Throughout all the chords in the chorus you can keep your pinky on the high G note (e string 3rd fret) to capture the note the piano is playing in the background if you want a more authentic/full sound. There should be four accented down strums for each chord with a light bass note of each chord played in between each strum.
