Glenn, you're a more adept fingerpicker than I am, but our arrangements are remarkably similar, almost identical. I'm pretty sure I did it all by ear without referencing any chord charts, but that may be my memory playing tricks on me.
Regardless, that is a lovely rendition of a timeless classic (and reliable crowd favourite). Kudos.

Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for your perspective on this song! How nice to hear from someone who knows this song so well! And how interesting that we both pretty much came up with the same arrangement!
How cool is that??!!
