After seeing someone on American Idol actually sing while
playing a simplified version of "Hello" (he did a great job)
almost identical to the first version (in Am) on here,
I decided to "correct" it to include more accurate chords;
believe it or not, these 'more complex' (and i.m.h.o. beautiful)
chords are actually easier overall to play than those in v1.,
since you just slide your hand back and forth...check the
chords first, and you'll soon see what I mean. Note I leave
blanks instead of x's to denote dead strings, and put
parenthesis around notes that you can play if you want; also
the words are placed roughly where they would be sung in
relation to the chords, which are played on downbeats...OK:

I've
been alone with you inside my mind, and
in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times... I
sometimes see you pass outside my door Hel-
-lo, is it me you're looking for? I can
see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile; you're
e
all I've ever wanted and my arms are open wide. 'Cause you
know just what to say and you know just what to do; and I
e . . .
want to tell you so much, I love you
| | |
I long to see the sunlight in your hair, and
.
tell you time and time again, how much I care. Some-
.
-times I feel my heart will overflow
.
He-llo, I've just got to let you know 'cause I
.
wonder where you are and I wonder what you do. Are you
somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you? Tell me
how to win your heart for I haven't got a clue; but
