Great! Love it! Sounds actually like the same
Another more difficult version of this song is -2. It’s perfect for my voice, not as high as the original.
Discovered a much easier way to play this song, it sounds about right. Either way works, just replace the D with a C, G with an F, Bm with an Am, and A with a G
