E: 0-2-2-1-0-0
A: X-0-2-2-2-0
B: X-2-4-4-0-0
G#m7: 4-X-4-4-0-0

E/D# can also be substituted with a B, or a B/D#
On the Bob Fitts version, the song begins in the key of D and then transposes to
E on the second verse, but it can be done either way.
Also, the song is written in two time signatures: for a more traditional way it
can be played in 9/8 (having three pulses per measure), or for a more
contemporary version it can be played in 12/8 (four pulses per measure).
