Chords:
A: (x02220)
E MajorE  (022100)
F# minorF#m (2442xx)
D MajorD  (xx0232)
B minorBm (x2443x)

Capo- 2nd fret (so technically the song is in the key of BB)
notes: each chord marking represents two beats. Therefore two consecutive
chords denotes a full measure of 4/4.

There are some places where Dar wrote measures of 6/4. Verse two uses
the same progression as in verse one, and there is a slight change in
verse three. The style changes back and forth from strumming and finger
picking, refer to the cd (on the Grapevine Label).
