Topic: Help! Grace Slick; The Great Society - Smiling Darkly - guitar chords

Hi,
I have searched and searched for the guitar chords - or even piano sheet music - for the song "Darkly Smiling" sung by Grace Slick when she was in The Great Society - before she joined Jefferson Airplane. No luck. If anyone knows these chords - please help!

Thanks

repeating the same finger movements on B is optional but i'll tell you where in the song it'll be appropriate and the only other chord you will have to add it to is C if that makes any sense...
