Title: Love Soon
Tuning: Standard (although I play it half a step down)

If anyone knows the real name for that chord C5/F#?, let me know.
This is very similar to http://www3.sympatico.ca/g403z/ but with a few slight
corrections, bringing it all together with the lyrics rather than having
separate sections for each, and naming of the chords. Hope this makes it
easier for you all to follow whilst you learn it. There are a few chords with
the same name but different structures, so be sure to check you're playing
the right ones. Brackets on the G5 indicates that the chord is the same as
the last G5 in the previous section.
