OK, first up, Arlo s website has the official chords on it.

But speaking as a rank novice, I found the D minor to B flat chord switch was a
tad tricky which was a shame as this song s a real crowd pleaser!
Anyway, I found a way to cheat a bit and make the whole thing more novice friendly
- transpose the chords down 5 semitones and capo it to the 5th fret to get it back
into key. It makes the chords way easier to play!
1) I had a friend, a friend you could trust
Went into the park and got busted
Doin the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
Went to the park, late at night
Ring-Around-A-Rosy in the middle of the night
Yes, we all should do the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag
Ch) Ring around, ring around Rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes
And mind after doin the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
Ring around, ring around Rose
Touch your nose and blow your toes
And mind after doin the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
2) We ought to send Officer Joe Strange
To some Australian mountain range
So we all could do the Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy-Rag
Would you like to put Philadelphia upthight, one mass
Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy in the middle of the night
Yes, we all should do the Ring-Aroud-A-Rosy-Rag
Ch)
Touch your nose and blow your toes
And mind after doin the Ring-Around-A-Rosy-Rag.
