Notes:
Am- you can also pick the 3rd fret on the B string for the second strum. This sounds nice to me.
G - don't play the high E string. For me it just doesn't fit.
F - again the high E string isn't correct. Gill play the F with the thumb on the first fret, low E string - 
    so his index finger is pressing the first fret, B string. The high E string is open.
    if you want to make it sound a little more like the original, 
    try to pull the middle finger off the G string.
[Verse]
  Amstanding out Gon the edge of Ftown
  Amhoping that Gyou don't let me Fdown
  Amall of the Gtears i try to Fhide
  Amrise up to Ghaunt me with a Fvicious tide
[Chorus]
  Cso take this Gbody babe and Fhold me tight
  Cand give mGe more than flesh anFd bone
  Ctake thiGs body babe anFd treat me right
  Ammake mGe believe were noFt alone
[Verse]
  Amsometimes Gi think Fi understand
  Amwere onlGy passing througFh this land
  Ambut its noGt easy its noFt plain
  Amwhen my heartGs filled witFh hungry pain
[Chorus]
  Cso take this Gbody babe and Fhold me tight
  Cand give mGe more than flesh anFd bone
  Ctake thiGs body babe anFd treat me right
  Ammake mGe believe were noFt alone
