Help on Gordon Lightfoot song
I have been searching for the chords to "If you need me" by Gordon Lightfoot. I have checked all the usual places on the net for a tutorial or at least a bit of a lead into this beautiful fingerstyle song. I believe in the open position its in the key of G, at least for my voice. Appears to start from first position G-A-Bm, then I lose it. If anyone has at least the rest of the basics I can do the rest. Thanks

I like the version RP provided better than the one from the Lightfoot site. The chords flow very easy fingerpicked and ring nicely when capo'd at the 2nd or third which works for me vocally and the guitar sounds real sweet there. The Lightfoot site is great for the abundance of songs. Thank you both very much.
