Love And Theft – If You Ever Get Lonely chords

IF YOU EVER GET LONELY
By Love & Theft
Originally by John Waite

The intro riff is just a D chord with a hammer on with your pinky on the 3rd fret E string. 
Listen to the song for the timing. I fell in love with this song when I heard John Waite play
it.  It's going to be a HUGE hit for Love & Theft, I would have loved to see it be a hit for
John. Enjoy.  Feel free to send in any corrections.  I am pretty sure it is correct.
