I will try and figure out what other kind of pile it got lost in. My husband wrote the chords out for me but I haven't learned it yet. Lovely song. |

I'll try your sequence and see what happens. Sophocleese...keep looking and learn it! But do it your way. If you find the chords, let me know Thanks Whiskey |

See if they help. Intro and filler between verses. Cm F(C bass) Cm7 F(C bass). Cm F Bb Gm Gm Gm Cm F Cm F Cm Eb Eb F Gm Gm Cm F Cm Eb Eb F Gm Gm Cm F Cm Bb Cm Bb Cm F Cm7 F Hope this is of some help. Sorry its late so I didn't transpose it to Am, I figure you could probably do that. I'll start learning it tomorrow.
