I've got the words, but--I blush to admit--I'm feeling too lazy to work out the chords. Any help would be appreciated. |

Cheers! RJB PS |

I think it would be a lot easier (for guitar players) to play it in the key of C and capo on the first fret. (I've always played it in C.) However, the lyrics given in an earlier post have a couple of errors: Verse 1, line 4 should be "storm and calm" Verse 2, line 1 should be "leaves we'll throw" The lyrics in the Ultimate Guitar link are correct.
