Here's my bare-bones interpretation of Jude's "Cammie" or "I Do."
Feel free to change it all you want if it doesn't seem right to you.
I question the Bm chord I've got in here the most. Jude also does all
that cool ornamentation that I can't pull off quite yet.
This works on an acoustic guitar, though. Rock out...

Intro and Verses: G Bm C D
G Bm
I got a letter today
C D G
An invitation
Bm C D G
And the writing looked like you
Bm C D G
Hello how are you and by the way
Bm C D
Please RSVP I do
I thought of writing sad words of how it used to be
But I didn't want to bring you down, no
I guess the bells will ring pretty well there without me
Don't worry 'bout me baby I'll wear the thorny crown
I will play the clown
Chorus:
C D G G/F# Em7
If you think that I don't love you, you're just wrong
C D G G/F# Em7
And that don't matter now anyway
C D D#7dim C
I couldn't bear to see you up there with a white dress on
C D
Here's my vow to you
(back to verse progression)
I'll stay away
Verse:
I remember when in a lover's whisper you said
No other man would ever share your bed
Well we both know that's not been so
And I wish I'd never let you go now
You found a better man instead
I wish you health and wealth and a white house on a hill and I
I hope you raise a family
Little boy and a little girl, a little more joy in this little old world
Well, that'd be enough for me
Chorus
Em Em/C Em/C#
Time rolls on
Em/C
And dreams they die
Em Em/C Em/C# Em/C
And I've thrown out the pictures I had of you and I
Em Em/C Em/C# Em/C
And if you're ever wondering if love can be true
Em C D (verse prog.)
Well, think of me and remember darling like I, like I do
Ole friendships fade away, love falls apart
And you've not spent a single day outside my heart
But, there's just one more dream that I have left for you
I hope you're smiling when he turns around and says I do. . .
I do
I do
I do
I do
End on G
