Tune guitar a semitone (half step) down - i.e tune to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

This is a beautiful acoustic song. It takes a little skill to make all the
chord changes nice and clean, but the basic shapes are all straight forward.


Use fingers for this one as you need to pick out the bass and top strings
together for many of the chords. Paul does this to produce counter melodies
on the top guitar strings, and then mixes it with some light strums as well.
Listen out to the original to see how this works. 

Use a slide to move up to the first D chord (x x 0 11 10 10).


Intro:
------

x x 0 11 10 10     x x 0 9 10 9     xx0787


xx0775    xx0433    xx0232


x x 0 11 10 10      x x 0 9 10 9     xx0787


xx0775   xx0777   xx0433    xx0232



Use the same sequence of chords for the first part of the verses, then use the 
following for the "I will hold you ..." lines


2x003x  2x0030  3x003x   3x0030   
  I      will     hold     you

x0222x  x0423x  x0525x  x0423x  x0222x
     for  as     long     as     you

x24432x  x04430   3x003x   3x0030
  like    I'll      love     you

x0222x  x0423x  x0525x  x0423x  x0222x   x x 0 11 10 10
 for     the     rest      of     your      life


Then carry on with the intro sequence again, and back into another verse ...
