Dm                      C
I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, 
        Bb                              A
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair 
Dm                     C
I hear the sound of a gentle word 
       Bb                                      A   C
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I think the F# needs to be F#m. Otherwise, great tab.

During the chorus it should go Fmaj - Bmaj - C#min

Very nice job making a difficult song easy to play! I took yours and transposed it -5 down to an Am then throw a Capo on 5. This gives me the DM and I can slide that capo lower for my range. I also changed the Chorus to the following F C C7 F (x4) D G Am G (x2) and E A D A (2). The minor chord is a game changer. Not sure if it works as well in a lower register though. Thanks again!
