This probably isn't entirely accurate...
but I've noticed there aren't any other tabs for this song on here,
so I made a version that best suits my voice,
and if it suits yours too then I hope these chords are helpful. (:
I tried finding the name for the second chord used in the song, but it keeps coming up as Cadd9,
so I will put it in brackets when this chord is played because I also use  Cadd9in this song.
