Anyone have a good version, the chord progressions of this song? I could figure it out but I'm lazy. Patsy Cline had a pretty version. If you got it, thanks!

Song: Faded Love Tablature for Guitar

--------------------------------------
[Each chord (or pair of chords joined by a hyphen) is one measure]

D D7 G G
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me
D D A7 A7
It's you that I am thinking of
D D7 G G
As I read the lines that to me were so dear
D A7 D - G D
I remember our faded love

D D G G
I miss you, darling, more and more every day
D D A7 A7
As heaven would miss the stars above
D D G G
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
D A7 D - G D
And remember our faded love
D A7 D - G D
[instrumental]

As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watched the mating of the doves
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love

I miss you, darling, more and more every day
As heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat, I still think of you
And remember our faded love

Thanks, I have those chords but that's not what I was after. Just playing the song in my head, I hear a more complex arrangement. I think there are some diminished, augmented chords in one of the covers I've heard and I think it's Patsy Cline's. No big deal, I can figure it out but if anyone has a good one...

I've already figured it out once but I can't find the file. Beats me. Got lost in computer shuffles somehow. It's a gorgeous song but it has a rich progression, not just simple 1-4-5.

Ray Price and Willie Nelson did a really nice version. They did the instrumental in D, the Verse in A and the Chorus in E, with little modulation steps each time. It's one of the better versions.
