I realize there are 9 other versions of this. That makes it all the sadder that NOT
ONE OF THEM IS CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT. Not one of them is correct even 90% and some are
wildly wrong, with bad chords, wrong qualities (major for minor) and all leave out
really integral maj and dominant 7ths, sustained 2nds and 4ths and other qualities
that make the song interesting. Here is my version (you can finger pick or strum it).
