  I could be wrong on a lot of things here, 
  but this is how I play it and it comes out 
  sounding pretty good.  Any comments appreciated.

  Version 2
  ---------
  
  strum the following chords to the base line
  
  G, F, C
  
  ok, now chorus...  (octave time)
  
  
  G--7-9--11/12-14-16-12-
  D----------------------
  A--5-7---9/10-12-14-10-
  
  then back to the chords
  
  slow part

  the chords are just a G and a C but only strum 
  the bottom 4 strings (6,5,4,3 - or - E,A,D,G)
  
  that's just about it
