First, the basics
Tuning: Normal
Capo: 3rd fret
This song is really for the piano but I found a nice strumming pattern for 
the acoustic which shouldn't be that difficult to work out. Working out a 
suitable end to the song is a pain unless you actually want to smash a few 
bottles!

The song:
It's not difficult so I won't write anymore than I really need to
Into, verse and instrumental:

Chorus:
   G/      D/      Dm/    E(x2)

Possible chord changes / additions
1 After the chorus E you may want to add a few E7 as you see fit.

2 I will leave you to decide whether the chorus D should be a D or a Bm. At 
the moment I think that the first time out of the 2 times you play the 
chorus chords, it is a D and the second time it is a Bm. However this only 
occurred to me whilst typing this info!
