This version is VERY accurate. The chords are for open guitar, standard tuning.
It's the same chords as the original just not played on
fifth fret, so if you play with the recording it's the exact same thing.
The only part that is different is the Fminor which isn't
played in the original version. If you don't perfer the Fm,
than play F right through it until the C.
When the verses star each chord gets a measure each,
and when it gets to the "What a wonderul world" part,
every two chords is a measure. If you listen to the original
you'll have to listen to the little transition he does between
the F and F9 on the "and I think to myself" part.
If you can't figure out the hammer on just play F and F9
straight into the G. Enjoi
