This is the song from David Gates of Bread which I never really figured out the guitar chords until I saw him performing live in a video in you tube with just his acoustic guitar. I combined his playing with another guys who posted his video performing the same song but have added his own ideas(bass line).
Tabs in Guitar Pro file as per link below:-

Here are the chords I used:

    The voice is the most recognisable voice in the world....This is not a cover, the person who wrote the song and has performed it forever, is the man sitting playing the guitar.....Great version and all being late get Robert Acacia. Thank you.
