A word of explanation is in order: this was the first song I sounded out 
when I learned to play the guitar two and a half years ago.  Sometime after 
that, I came across a version of the song in a songbook, which was 
significantly different, but by that time I was so used to my version that 
the songbook one sounded wrong.  The songbook version uses only four chords 
for most of the song——Eb, Bb, Cm and Ab, which turn into G, D, Em and C in 
this key——plus a Gb (Bb) on the "Oh" at the end of the second chorus.  
Anyway, I hope someone can get some use out of this version (which I think 
breaks every rule of chord progressions in the book, but...), and I'll try 
to post some more *official* Maniacs in the future.
