Two slight adaptations I made to fit it to myself were: actually playing an E major then dropping down to E7 where you have an Em; and sliding an Fmaj7 shape up 2 frets to a G on "both could live." I also may end up swapping that F6 for a Dm7, just to make it easier--we'll see.

Thanks again so much--you have given me the gift of a great song, so thanks for your efforts.
Thanks, I hesitated to post since it might seem like I am shamelessly advertising my YouTube channel. But that song resonates with so many people, and isn't really that hard to play. I'll experiment with your alterations and maybe incorporate them!

Gary

@Gcunplugged really loving the tune of your song, I dont think i have ever heard it before somehow! "every breath you take" on the other hand its an old favorite i had forgotten about, definitely going strait to the short list.

Again, thanks. "Your Song" is my most popular tune on YouTube. It took me a while to work that song out, and as was mentioned earlier, that F6 chord is problematic. If you prefer, you can play a Dm there instead.

Best Regards,
Gary

I've never been a fan of Marty's lessons but I looked at this and liked his teaching style quite a bit.
