Transpose up 3 to play it in the root...and for what it's worth, it's a solid rendition to a song best played on the piano (this is not a fun one to convert to geetar). Thanks for the contribution!

I think the chorus sounds better this way:
C D
You got your passion you got your pride
G D/F# Em Em7
But don't you know only fools are satisfied
C B7 Em A
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
C7
When will you realize
B7 G
Vienna waits for you

The lyrics are kind of wrong near the end in the song he actually says "Why don't you realize..." on the second to last sentence.
