[Verse 1]
G               Bm7            C6           D7     D7b9
  When you were young and your heart was an open book
G             Bm7              C6
  You used to say live and let live
              D7                D7b9             G
(You know you did, you know you did you know you did)
G             Bm7           C6                A
  But if this ever changing world in which we live in
          D                 Bb/D
Makes you give in and cry
 
[Chorus]
                    G7  C/G
Say live and let die
             Gdim7   G7
Live and let die
             G7  C/G
Live and let die
             Gdim7
Live and let die

The "Say live and let die" part should be G7, C7, Gdim (not Gmin), then G. And during the last D7 of every verse Paul throws in a flat 9, but I guess that works better on piano. Also the Em during "you gotta give" is actually an Em7.

Call me crazy but does an A7 (on 5th fret) sound better than the Gm9...?
