Hi guys and girls, I had to play this song for a father daughter dance at a wedding recently and couldn't find
the correct chords out there so I made my own chart, thought I'd share it with all of you :)
*Note, this is clearly played with a guitar tuned down a half step and then played in the key of C, 
to play it this way, tune your guitar down a half step and press the transpose up arrow one time.
*In her live version of this song, she actually plays it in C, press the transpose up arrow once and don't
tune your guitar down
*Another option would be to press the transpose down arrow 4 times and put a capo on the 4th fret and play it
in the key of G
*Good luck! if there are any mistakes (I don't think there are) please submit a correction and I will fix it!
