 Someone requested this one, and this is my best guess at the chords. I don't
 know the name of the (E+) chord, but I drew it above the first one.  If 
 someone knows the right chords, please help me out here.

 Cheryl posted nice chords.  Here's a slightly
 different version with the chords I've selected notated under hers.
 I've also provided tab for the chords.  I play it on a 12-string.
 Lovely song.
