This sounds exactly like the song.  My guitar teacher wrote down the chords for me just 
by listening to the song on my CD.  On the first chord in the song, the A7, you'll 
have to figure out how it's strummed yourself.  He told me that the third chord 
played in each measure doesn't get accounted for when reading the music.  I don't 
understand this myself.  Just strum the chord the same as the previous one or just listen to the song 
to see how it goes.
