I'd take you as my queen.  I'd have it no other way

Till then I'd be a fool, wishin' for the day...

The only suggestion I would make is adding the intro chords during the break. This seems to be what the bass line is doing. Otherwise I'm not sure why anyone took the time to add a different chord chart for this, you are spot on! Example :[Break] E F# G G F# E E F# G G F# G# [Outro] E F# G G F# G (Ritard) Thats Ritardando for anyone getting upset about language

Nice job. A couple of thoughts - instead of the A6 chord I use a Bm7 and for the E6 I play the D&G strings on the second fret and only strum the lower 4 strings.

I think the Verse is something like E; Esus4, G6-ish? Dued to the melodic aspects
