This is an acoustic version he played solo, using easier chords.
I put it up as a COMPLETE tab, some dont complete the whole song making it not so easy 
us less expeienced players to play it, i cribbed some of it from another version.
The last verse is guess work and may need tweaking, but it is a version that he sang solo.
