This is what I think of as the basic version of the song, using arpeggios in measures 1, 3, and 5 of Part A.

Lots of folks play this in D without a capo, but I play it with C fingering, with the capo on the 2nd fret. This makes the arpeggios a bit harder, but it makes the rest of the tune easier.

Capo on 2 - Medium speed

Pick-up measure
