Feel free to add or drop fingers, to flourish. The melody is pretty fluid so you can afford to twiddle a bit.
I do not know how accurate it is comparedto the original but it serves me well.
The chords are positioned as exactly as I was able, to be true to the way I personally sing along, again this
may be an inaccurate representation of the original.
