I follow Justin Hayward using his Gibson in E Standard tuning for the
electric guitar version. He uses primarily barre chords.
The acoustic player uses primarily open chords in D Standard tuning on a
twelve-string guitar. To play in D Standard on Acoustic, transpose the chords
up a whole step (+2) and use open voicings.
===========================================================================
Use the following barre chord voicings to match how these chords are played.
C Major is the only open chord in the song.
Am = 577555
Bb = 688766
Dm = 10 12 12 10 10 10D# = 11 13 13 12 11 11
