OK I am a rookie guitarist and I have always been a massive fan of this ballad.
This is my first song by ear so might be a bit out!
Here are the chords which seem to fit well for strumming along with:
Intro (play simple downstrokes):
C - Em - Am - C/G - F - F - C
C Em
Told you once about your friends and neighbours
Am C/G
They were always seeking but they'll never find it
F C
It's alright, yes it's alright
C Em
Where to go and where to see
Am C/G
It's always been that way and it can never be
F C
It's alright, yes it's alright
C Em
Give it all and ask no return
Am C/G
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn
F C
That's it's alright, yes it's alright
Solo:
F - C - F - C
G# - A# - G - G
F - C - F - C
G# - A# - G - G
C Em
Don't you know that it's so good for you
Am C/G
You can be making love and see it all go through
F C
But it's alright, yes it's alright
