YOUNG NEIL - "ordinary people" Tablature

Awhile back I promised lyrics and chords for
Ordinary People. I finally got around to
transcribing the lyrics! (Only 3 months later!)

Here they are - corrections are welcome, as this
is from listening to the 8/18/88 tape that Steve
Vetter made me. Also, I have OP on a tape from
the Mann Music Center (thanks Randy) that has
slightly different lyrics, so someone may want
to chime in with those if they have 'em.

Also, the Bm before the D, at the end of each lyric is
optional. It's definitely in the intro, but you can
get away with just a D during the song.
