The accents are as follows (somehow. Listen to the song and you'll figure it out): Verse: ONE two three FOUR five six [3x and then:] ONE two THREE four FIVE six |Am7 . . . . . |Bm7 . . . . . |Em7 . . . . .|Em7 . Bm7 . Bbm7 .| Chorus: |Em . . . . . |G/H . C6/g . . .|D . . . . . |Dsus . . D . . | #2: The voicing is for playing it with a single (acoustic) guitar. If you have a band, however, you don't have to play all the notes yourself ;-) Chords: verse: Am7 Bm7 Bbm7 Em7 Cmaj7 D7 EADGhe EADGhe guess EADGhe EADGhe EADGhe 575555 797777 x79787 8x998x 10th fr. chorus: Em G/H C6/g D Dsus EADGhe EADGhe EADGhe EADGhe EADGhe 022000 x20033 x3x213 xx0232 xx0233
