great tab but the correct key to begin with is Eb/D# so just use the transpose key until the first chord shown is D# and you're spot on!

Is it “You’ll find a place, for sure” or “No finer place, for sure”? All my life, I’ve been singing the former, but lately, when playing the recording, I hear the latter.
