Acoustic Version
Standard Tuning
Capo II

This is how he plays it on the acoustic as near as I can tell.


    D     D/F#    G    G5/F#  Dmaj7   Bm    Asus2    A     Em    Emadd9  
|---2------2------3------3------2------2------0------0------0------0---|
|---3------3------3------3------3------3------0------2------0------0---|
|---2------2------0------0------2------4------2------2------0------0---|

|---x------0------2------x------4------2------0------0------2------x---|
|---x------2------3------2------0-----(2)-----x------x------0------2---|

Note:  
	The Asus2 basically starts as an Asus2 then a hammer on string 2, fret 2 
(C#)which makes it an A, but I wrote it as an Asus2 to differentiate it from the 
pure A chords.  Hope that makes sense
  

INTRO:   D  D/F#  G  -  G  G5/F#  D   x2

Farrah Fawcett hairdo days,  bell bottoms and 8 track tapes
D                Asus2        G          D 
Looking back now I can see me, oh man did I look cheesy
Em          Bm                  G                         (D)

But all this responsibility makes me wish sometimes...
