CAPO 1ST FRET
Quite gutted over the fact nobody did this sooner and at how there are so many
wrong chords though it's ever so simple!
So here it is with the lyrics all worked out by ear. Fairly sure it's correct.
Sometimes chords start before the singing commences but i'm sure
you'll know when precisely to play, it's novice work! If you don't know
your chords then here it is in tab (G can be played numerous ways
but from watching Charlie's playing style live, he seems to play like the one tabbed):
