This is my humble contribution to this great database and site. Also it is the first song that I figured out so all comments, suggestions and criticisms are welcome. I heard the melody in a TV ads and I tried to play it.

Probably the D chord can be changed by a Bm7 chord but it sounds better to me. Since I play all the notes in the same string, it could be easily moved to a different scale.

Em Bm7
E:-------------------------- -----------------
B:--5--5--5--5--7--8--7--8-- --5--3--0--3-----
G:-------------------------- -----------------

Em Bm7
E:-------------------------- -----------------
B:--5--5--5--5--7--8--7--8-- --10--12--8--12--
G:-------------------------- -----------------

Em D Am Bm7
E:--------------------- --------------------- ----------------- ---------------
B:--12--12--12--12--8-- --10--10--10--10--7-- --8--8--8--8--5-- --7--7--8--10--
G:--------------------- --------------------- ----------------- ---------------

Em D Am Em
E:---------- -------- -------------- -----
B:--12--10-- --8--7-- --0--5--5--3-- --5--
G:---------- -------- -------------- -----

Several lyrics can be consulted at the Wikipedia.

EDIT: Sorry, I really use the Bm7 chord and I wrote Bm.
