Notes: Ideal for acoustic guitar.  On the album, the first verse has 
the guitar playing on its own and then the bass etc kicks in for the 
second verse.  When playing on a single guitar I find it effective to 
use the chords given below for the first verse, which are higher up 
the fret board, and then using the traditional 'bassier' chords for 
the rest.  Give both a try and use which ever you prefer.   


Intro:

E-------0----------0--------
B---------3----------3------
G-----2----------2----------
D---0----------0------------
A---------------------------
E---------------------------


1st Verse:

D*          C*
  (Oh my...)
D*          C*
Am*         Em*
D*          G*


Verse:

D             C
  (Give me..)
D             C
Am            Em
D             G


Chorus:

A*                 G*
  (Where's the...)      
A*                 G*
A*                 G*
D    Am7      C       
Gm*     
  (But I'll Survive...)


Repeat:  Verse
         Chorus
         Verse


Outro:

D                       C
  (But I'll Survive...)

Keep repeating D and C and end on Dadd9.
