These are the chords for the song in a key that I find comfortable for singing.
The original version starts with an Eb chord instead of a G.
This is one of the best songs ever written.

Nice tab!
For those of you interested in playing in the original key (without too much added work on your part): transpose -5 and put a capo on 1!
