You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work.

You don't ask for no diamond rings,

No delicate string of pearls,
Cmaj7                           Gmaj7/D              G
That's why I wrote this song to sing, my beautiful girl.

i disagree!!! i think the C is right but the D is wrong. you just slide it up to the 5th fret. so its... --3----3----0----0----0-- --3----3----0----1----3-- --0----0----0----0----0-- --0----0----2----2----4-- --2----2----2----3----5-- --3----2----0----0----0--
