Chord/Tab song: The Other Guy

The Other Guy ? Little River Band

Someone saw my Tab for Night Owls by LRB and asked if I knew where 'The Other Guy'
could be found. I looked around but again couldn?t find it, so, unaccustomed as I
am, I?ve had a bash at interpreting it - especially in view of the title - thought
I had to have a go.
Hope it seems vaguely close and helps you out! Happy to have any constructive feedback!

F Fc(cut) D5 Bb C () C (alternative) G

|e----1--------X---------X--------1--------3--------0------------------3|
|B----1--------X---------X--------3--------5--------1------------------0|
|G----2--------2---------2--------3--------5--------0------------------0|
|D----3--------3---------0--------3--------5--------2------------------0|
|A----3--------3---------0--------1--------3--------3------------------2|
|E----1--------X---------X--------1--------3--------X------------------3|

To me, the beginning, that wonderful 2 part driving beat sounds like it?s
dominated by the bass guitar in the actual version, and so I feel this 3 finger
plucked Fc D5 is the best interpretation from an acoustic/rhythm guitar. If you?re
an advanced player, play this then make the tricky change to Bb?....

For mere mortals ? just play F instead of Fc D5.

(PS ? there is no such chord as Fc ? I?ve just made that one up. ? for the
purists, it is still technically an F as it has the 1,3 and 5 in it ? so to
distinguish it from the full 6 string strum F, I?ve called it Fc. )

Or try one of the following:

Put a Capo on Fret 1 and substitute:
E shape for F
A shape for Bb
B shape for C (ie barred on the actual 3rd fret A shape)
F# shape for G (ie barred on the 3rd fret E shape)

or easier still, put a capo on Fret 3 and substitute:
D shape for F
G shape for Bb
A shape for C (ie barred on the actual 3rd fret A shape)
E shape for G (ie barred on the 3rd fret E shape)
