The 'H' chords are weird jazz things and hard to work out their real names - so I've left them like that!
The intro should be easy to work out; its just plucking over Bm, Bm/E, D7 and sldie up to A on top E.
Then
Bm Bm/E Eb7 D7
Bm Bm/E Eb7 D7

Middle Eight:
Am
When I wake up in the morning
Am
And see you in the light
H7 Am D7
You can love me, baby, love me with all your might
When I lay down in the evening
And see you in the shade
I feel your touch and I
know I've got it made
Got it made
I'm gonna listen for your laughter
I'm gonna kiss you into next year
I got my blue bandana
In case I need to dry your tears
And, baby, you know it's simple
It's just a matter of common sense
I want you to love me, baby,
'til tomorrow can pay the rent
Tomorrow can pay the rent
Tomorrow can pay the rent...
