Right Handed Charts:

Alternatives to Dm - Em - F - G Bruno uses these chords on the last line of every verse when performing solo.

Left Handed Charts:

Alternatives to Dm - Em - F - G

Level Of Ease: Easy
Song Key: C Major - No sharps or flats
Standard chord progression for C major: C - Dm - Em - F - G - Am - Bdim. Most of the chords for a standard C major progression were used for this song.
You can play Am/G instead of Am7/G... it sounds good whichever chord you play. I used Am7/G after seeing a solo performance of Bruno playing this song, and it was there I noticed he played this chord.
Am/G or Am7/G simply means that you play the Am or Am7 chord as you normally would, leading with a bass note of G which is on the 6th string on the 3rd fret using your 3rd or 4th finger depending on whether you play the Am or Am7... the Am7/G is easier to play.
While playing solo, Bruno also uses the barre chords as shown above on the last 2 lines of each verse. It adds interest to the progression, so that the song doesn't sound too repetitive... it works well.
You can also use the barre chords on the last line of the Bridge section of the song... try it out (see 'Chord Charts' for alternatives to Dm-Em-F-G).
