These chords are reversed:
C6 C C6 C C6 C
On the day that you were born, the angels got together
Should start on C and alternate
idk but the last C in verses, sounds better if it’s Gmaj7. The intro sounds better as C then Cmaj7 rather than Cadd9 then C
This doesn’t really sound like the song 🙁
Plus five is the easiest. Maybe a capo?
this is the best arrangement for close to you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHRI5tbkivw
