I think the correct key is Bb not Gm when i play lead on my guitar it fits into the key of Bb. I could be wrong but yeah.

If you want to keep the song in the same key but make it easier to play, transpose -3 and put a capo on the 3rd fret. Sounds exactly like the original but your fingers will thank me...and you for doing it!
