Badfinger's "Storm in a Teacup"

A couple weeks ago, I wrote about a Shakespeare reference in Badfinger's "Storm in a Teacup."  A couple days ago, I learned the chords, so I figured it'd be good to post those.  It's actually pretty simple:

Introduction:
|: G major | D major :|

Verses:
|: E minor | B minor :|
C major | D major

Choruses:
|: G major | D major :|

Tag:
G major | F major | Eb major | G major

Badfinger's "Storm in a Teacup"

This afternoon, I listened to Badfinger's Magic Christian Music, and I noticed something about "Storm in a Teacup," which is included as a bonus track on the CD re-issue I have.

The first verse is:
Well, you just slammed the door in my face
Well, that ain't any disgrace
It's a natural thing to do
Because true love never runs smooth
That last line ("true love never runs smooth") is a near quote of a line from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.  In the first act, Lysander says, "The course of true love never did run smooth" (I.i.134).
