Thanks for sharing this. I can't tell you how special this song is to me and my family, I love it every time I hear it. John would like it too for sure, he would get such a kick out of people playing his music. Keep it up!
first of all...this is as close to John's original recording as I have heard..it made me cry...he would have been so honored! And..I as read the other posts I laugh...apparently it is difficult to play all his music...piano, drums and guitar...and he couldn't read a note...it was just in that beautiful head of his!! Thanks for playing this...it made my day! Paula Pike (John's mom)
@paulapike Dear Paula, I think i might be too moved to type. Your son was an amazing human being. He left too soon. I now know that he also had a wonderful family backing him up. You're so lovely. Thank you so much for this, it's touched me a great deal <3 (you made my year!)
@DarkLordLucy haha it took me quite a bit of time and patience (frustration), but i figured them out myself! it probably isn't 100% accurate but it's sounds ok, so hopefully it'll make your life easier :P i play it barred D, G, and a derivation of G that kinda looks like this:
E- 10
B- 12
G- 11
D- 12
A - 10
e - 10
then it's open D, A7, Bm, F#m, and G!
there's a couple of pattern variations afterwards, but they're easy to figure out! have fun :)

You have a lovely voice (:
Also can I ask where you got the tabs for this, or did you just figure it out yourself?

Your eyebrows could have a career of their own if they decided to go solo.
