Chords

This is my first submission. Please let me know if anything is wrong with these chords, since I am a beginner and may have gotten things a little wrong. I used audio from an acoustic session with Dermot O'Leary to figure this out, so it's probably different from the studio version. The C and Dm are barred for the chorus. Also, you can play just a Cm instead of a Cmadd6 if you want. Cmadd6- 335545 [Intro] Bbmaj7 F Am Dm [Verse 1]
