Ok bugsy, here goes:

3/4 time and I'll give you the chords as 1 per bar..... like so... |C|Am|...or, |C./B|Am./G|... means play the C chord, on the third beat sound a B note in a run down to the Am, then G note run down etc..... Showing a |G/B| means playing a G chord with the B in the bass.... also, the asteric |*| means to repeat the previous bar. Hope this all makes sense... I'm not including the words, but you should be able to follow one bar at a time.....

Verse: |C|Em|Am|*|C|Em|Am|*|
|Dm|Dm/f|G|G Am G/b|C|G#dim/G#|Am|
|G|C|B7|Em|F|*|
|C.C/b|Am.Am/G|F|*|C.C/b|Am.Am/G|F|*|
C.C/b|Am.Am/G|F|G|C|G|C|*| (repeat for verse)

(after second verse) |G/b|:Am|G#dim|F:| (repeat 3x) then |G| to last verse as above....

Hope this works for you..... play along with the recording and you should be able to follow it....

the G#dim chord is a guess..... needs something with a G# in the bass, and it's the closest I could come up with at 2:30am....

enjoy, it's a great song...
