Capo 4

Tried to give this 5 stars and will try one more time, if the limitations of Ultimate Guitar's postings allow it.

Chords are good. But you're missing a whole verse / chorus. After (Don't go changing... ) and (I would not leave you ...) but before the bridge, you need Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are.
