This Is the entire song as if it were played as part of an acoustic set,
the version that Delirious? actually plays is along the same basis but
as another guitar playing a harmonic lead line. So far this is the first
complete chord chart I have seen for the song, so I hope you all enjoy.
God Bless.

one note in the beginning there is a lot of palm muting on
some chords if you listen to the original you can hear where
they belong but I am leaving the artistic liberties up to you.
Thanks
