Bm      X 2 4 4 3 2
D/F#    2 0 0 2 3 2
G5      3 2 0 0 3 3
A       X 0 2 2 2 0 or Asus2  X 0 2 2 0 0
G2/5/6  3 2 0 2 3 0 or G2/3/6 3 2 0 2 0 0
E       0 2 2 1 0 0
E/C#    X 4 2 1 0 0
Db7     X 5 4 2 3 0


The timing on the intro and verse can be played two ways, though
it doesn't make a huge difference. The only change is whether
you hit the D/F# on the upbeat of the 3rd beat or right on
the 4th beat. I personally prefer the upbeat of the 3rd beat.
Both ways are shown:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 
Bm        D/F#  G5        D/F#

or

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
Bm          D/F# G5          D/F#


Verse:

Bm     D/F#   G5     D       Bm  D/F# G5    D/F# (repeats)
Love,              I get so  lost sometimes...

Bridge:

You can mess around with the Asus2 and G2/3/6, both sound good

A (or Asus2)          G2/5/6 (or G2/3/6) (repeat)
And All my instincts, they return....

A                    G2/5/6 (hold)
I reach out from the inside...

Chorus:

   E
In your eyes, (the light the heat)
   E/C#          Db7
In your eyes, (I am complete)
etc...

These are the fingerings I've been using for some of the
more unusual chords to make the transitions easier:

          A or Asus2
  7   6   5   4   3   2   1
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| A
|---|---|---|---|---|-1-|---| D
|---|---|---|---|---|-2-|---| G
|---|---|---|---|---|(3)|---| B
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E

       G2/5/6 or G2/5/6
  7   6   5   4   3   2   1
|---|---|---|---|-3-|---|---| E
|---|---|---|---|---|-1-|---| A
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| D
|---|---|---|---|---|-2-|---| G
|---|---|---|---|(4)|---|---| B
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E

            E/C#
  7   6   5   4   3   2   1
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E
|---|---|---|-4-|---|---|---| A
|---|---|---|---|---|-2-|---| D
|---|---|---|---|---|---|-1-| G
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| B
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E

             Db7
  7   6   5   4   3   2   1
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E
|---|---|-4-|---|---|---|---| A
|---|---|---|-3-|---|---|---| D
|---|---|---|---|---|-1-|---| G
|---|---|---|---|-2-|---|---| B
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| E

That's pretty much it. I've found this version works best for
campfires with just voice and guitar, but it also works while
playing along with the album. Any questions or comments E-Mail
