Tried my best to place the chord changes where they occur in the recording but they
don't always change on a word (sometimes between or after a word). Listen to the recording
for the best timing between chord changes :)

If you're looking to play this in the key that matches the recording, transpose down 2 half tones and add capo on first fret ;) Makes it in the key of Gb Major with Change to Eb Major.

Yes, this key (G-major) is +1 from the original (which is F#-major or Gb-major). I would like to have seen the original key on the chords.
