looked it up and found it's called C7M9.
Just put your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the A-string and your first finger on the
first fret of the B-string and
stroke down from the A-string on. have fun.

Verse:
C Am
Tell me what's the measure of a man
C Am
Is it to provide all that he can?
F C
Or is it just how much he can offer

To any willing heart that will receive
F C Am
Or is it just how much you can take from him
F G C
before he truly sees?
Am C Am
C Am
And tell me now do you believe in trust?
C Am
Cos in my heart this quality's a must

knowing full well that you might not receive
F C Am
to give your love so freely to someone
F G C
knowing full well that you might not retrieve

And here is my soul

Take them both they're yours
