I'm not sure of all the words. Also, I don't know if I'm in the right key~ my guitar's decided on a key it likes and there's no budging it, so I've got it in the key of D simply for my ease of playing. A key-change might be needed to play along with the original, but I hope these chords work for you if you're playing on your own or with your band. I hope I've made it all nice and clear. Enjoy. Love, Dan. VETIVER~ 'IDLE TIES'
