Tabbed by Marcus Swan.
I've seen a few tabs of this great song around but they're all a bit off.
The song is played without a capo which makes it a bit more difficult than at first
but don't let that stop you playing it! There's a great live video of Mic playing this song
Youtube, Which I've taken the chords from that's worth checking out;
Chords
I've just put in the main chords as some of the shapes aren't whole chords or there are
strings being played

STRUM
The strum is fairly easy; for the chorus hit the base note of the chord then strum the
chord Up/Down/Up. Play it a little harder for the Chorus. For the Bridge don't pick the
note and strum quite softly. listen to the song for the exact timing.

And we did a little love, but we walked,

And we...
