Standard Tuning
I worked long and hard and I found out the real chords for this song. Just a little second finger picking and you should have it.

Tabbed by Merrye Curry comments corrections and suggestions to merrye@earthling.net
This time, I fixed up a few things making it a bit easier to play. Keep in mind that this is the pattern of the first verse only. The other two verses are very similar but the rhythm is somewhat adlibbed. The chord structures are the same.
