Silly Games (Acoustic) - Con Maloney

This is my acoustic version of Janet Kay's wonderful Lovers Rock tune, written by Dennis Bovell & John Myatt.
The video shows two young foxes playing in our London garden during the recent snowfall, just before Christmas 2010.

I was asked to include the chords for my version so here goes;
Key of G (detuned down half-step to F#)
Intro: G - Bm - Bm7b5 - C - Cm - G - D11
1st verse - G - Bm - Bm7b5 - C - Cm - G - C - Bm - Am - G
2nd verse - G - Bm - Bm7b5 - C - Cm - G - C/D - D
Bridge (you're as much to blame etc) goes, Bb - Dm - D - Em - C - D - G - Em - C - D - Gm7 - C6 (4th/3rd/2nd/1st strings all 5th fret) - Gm7 - C6,
Third verse, same as second, then bridge repeats, back to intro repeated twice.
Chord notes are picked arpeggio style, rather than strummed.

@Bopbidar @Bopbidar - thanks for your comment, it's appreciated. My version is played in G but detuned to F#.

I'll put the chords into the description below the video for you, because youtube limits the amount you can write in these replies. Let me know if it makes sense, good luck & enjoy your playing.
