The chords are slightly different from Michael Smith's chord transcription, but the lyric is exactly the same. My work was done independently, and is humbly submitted to improve on what is already in existence in this suberb archive.

I would recommend using a flat pick and -- in general -- let it ring! Give a listen to the CD (which I would highly recommend if you don't already have it). This will help with the vocal line as it changes from chromatic keys like G to F# and back -- really, this is what makes the song sound so cool. Have fun!
