I love Cee Lo's version of this song! Had to do it :)
Here's the link-

I didn't put 'single strum this verse' and such like I normally do
because it's really up to you. The whole song could be single
strums each chord or light strumming throughout, (however, the
bridge IS regular strumming) but really it's your choice! I'm 90%
sure this will play along with Clay Aiken and Donny Osmond's versions
as well. (Lyrics may be changed up a bit.)
