I added this transcription, because in this archive I did not find a finger style to play the song. I think it's absolutely scandalous ;-) to play the song without picking the notes. I play this song without any septime chord. It sounds great too. Each time I play the song, it sounds a little bit different, because I finger with the chords around. It means, that I play all the notes that available for the current chord. Sometimes I added a g-note on the e-string to the D-chord Dsus4}, sometimes I played the e-note on the E-string instead of the e-note on the D-string. Things I ever do is the bridge {Em}-{Em7}-{C} and the finger style at the D-chord. This sounds great and if you heard it you won't miss it. The finger style at the D-chord supports also the melody. The chords in brackets are "only" interim chords, but it gives the song its own character. Try to find your own style - it is allways the better way to play a song in your own style than to make just a (bad) copy of it. The chords are very simple: G A C D Here is the stuff: The intro is the same as the verse. Play it two times!
