 This is based on the transcription by Alexander Hsi pu Feng 
  
   
   .  Some of the chords have minor fixes and in the 
 previous transcription. several key chords were misplaced.  This version 
 fixes all of these. 
  
 The C(9) chord which was previously placed here is actually just a C 
 chord fingered a bit different.  Also in place of these G Chords should 
 be a Gmaj7.  Also some C? turned out to be Fs and such. 
  
 C      032013 
 D      x00232 
 D9     x00230 
 Dsus   x00233 
 F      133211  (barre the first fret) 
 Gmaj7  320002  (or an easier one -> 3x0002).  I prefer this fingering for 
                pure simplicity and chord structure.  Chords tend to ring 
                better if you have an open fifth at the root instead of 
                of a triad.  To finger this correctly, simply use your 
                thumb to mute the A string. 
  
 One last note before we get started.  In the chorus, the D chord is 
 jazzed up by doing the following... 
  
     D                          Then the following G chord 
  
 e [-2-------2-----3---2---0-----22--3--] 
 B [-3-------3-----3---3---3-----33--3--] 
 G [-2-------2-----2---2---2-----22--2--] 
 D [------------------------------------] 
 A [------------------------------------] 
 E [-x-------x-----x---x---x-----xx--x--]
