Once again I have had trouble finding a complete On your own version to
my liking. So here is my own version with lyrics and base once again
from other sources but just with the correct timing and actual chords.
The problem with verve stuff is that you can find correct lyrics with
incorect chords and some good progression ideas for the song with bad
lyrics. So here it is, the definative On your own chording.
