Notes: The 9 or so versions of this song on Ultimate Guitar are incomplete - still!
But now that has changed.
This is the complete version and it's accurate. There's been some good attempts on youtube for tutorials
and here on Ultimate Guitar but what I've seen - it's not quite right and/or incomplete.
Chords are written in relation to capo or as if there is no capo - however you want to think about it.
