Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 *
D'you ever see London at night and not want to go home ?
D'you ever take drugs stay up late just to see what you would see
D'you ever have love and hate scratched across your hand ?
or did you turn
round with 16 miles to go ?
Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 *
D'you ever just walk away and disappear for days ?
D'ou ever have a girl----friend called Catherine Wheel?
D'you ever come home from work and say I'm never going back again?
or did you turn
round with 16 miles to go ?
Heavy on the bass strings

The trick is to fret the B and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e. pinky on
B string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the second fret on
the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked * above).
e.G. for a Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar)

I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome.
