OK, here goes. You need to tune the guitar to open D (DADF#Ad). However, as the top two
strings are not needed, I normally just retune the 6th and 3rd strings, cos I'm lazy! I
am doing this from memory, so I am not 100% sure that the notes for the Em chord are
completely accurate, but they sound alright when I play it. Corrections gratefully received!

If you just wanna strum along in normal tuning the chords are:
D(sus4), Bm(6), Em(9)
Numbers in brackets indicate the voicings he changes between - sounds OK just playing
the basic chords as well though.

Played fingerstyle:

Intro/Verse:

D(sus4)
d-]-----------------]-----------------]
A-]-----------------]-----------------]
F#]---0-----1-----0-]---0-----1-----0-]
D-]-----0-----0-----]-----0-----0-----]
A-]-----------------]-----------------]
D-]-0-----0-----0---]-0-----0-----0---]

Bm(6)
d-]-----------------]-----------------]
A-]-----------------]-----------------]
F#]---0-----1-----0-]---0-----1-----0-]
D-]-----0-----0-----]-----0-----0-----]
A-]-2-----2-----2---]-2-----2-----2---]
D-]-----------------]-----------------]

Repeat twice for the intro, 4 times for the verse

Chorus:

Em(9)
d-]-----------------]-----------------]---
A-]-----------------]-----------------]---
F#]---0-----1-------]---0-----1-------]---
D-]-----2-----2---2-]-----2-----2---2-]---

D-]-2-----2-----2---]-2-----2-----2---]-0-(hold open D)

Such a cool song. This was the first Tom Mcrae I ever heard - still a favourite! Anyone
else at the Gig at Islington on Nov 23rd? It was awesome. Can't wait till the next time


I'm gonna have ago at the solo in a bit - watch this space...
