I really like this, I think it's great. I just don't agree with the G. It doesn't sound right. Maybe you need to use G7 instead?
I'm not a guitarist; I play ukulele.
It's B in place of the G. To work this song out just simply pick the notes and you'l see that is infact a B.
No, it's a G or G7 (with a B in it of course), not a B chord.
