Does anyone know an easy chord pattern for "Michelle" by the Beatles?

Hello hartleys, this is not really an easy song, but if you capo on the first fret you can play along with the beatles

Michelle
Lennon/McCartney capo on the first fret

D0 = D augmented
|-----3-------|
|-----2-------|
|-----3-------|
|-----2-------|

(E) Michelle (Am) ma belle (D) these are words that (D0) go together (B) well (A) my (B) Michelle

(E) Michelle, (Am)ma belle, (D) sontles mots qui (D0) vont tres bien ensemble, (B)tres (A)bien (B)ensemble

(Em)I love you, I love you, I love you,(G7) that's all I want to (C) say (B) until I find a (Em) way

|--------------------------------------------------------------8----|
|-----13-------13------13-----13-----13-----11----9----8----|
|-----13-------13------13-----13-----13-----11----9----9----|
|-15-------14-------13-----12-----11-------------------------|

I will say the only words I know that you'll understand.

Chorus

I need you, I need you, I need you, I need to make you see
oh what you mean to me
until I do I'm hoping you will know what I mean

Chorus

I want you, I want you, I want you, I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow
until I do I'm telling you so you'll understand

Michelle, ma belle sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble

I will say the only words I know that you'll understand, my Michelle

[minor detail]I might be wrong but this is not a D0 -
It is a E0, Bb0, C#0 or G0[/minor detail]

|-----13-------13------13-----13-----13-----11----9----8----|

or easier version:

go from an open em chord, starting with the bass on the d string:
xx2000
xx1000 (em maj7)
xx0000 (em7)
x4(2)000 (em6)
x32000 (C maj7)

and then B(7)

I've always played in A BTW

% A dm G Eb0 (xx1212) E Eb0 E %
Am C F E Am

Am, Am maj7, Am7, Am6 Fmaj7 E

...only thing I know how to do is to keep on keepin' on...

hi larsko,
sorry if its confusing, I generally play this in F like the beatles and if you play the D0 up a fret 3434 its a D0, just shold have called it Db0
