This superb song from the album: How to dismantle an atomic bomb.
I love the acoustic version on the DVD, so I’ll amend G Draytons version to the correct chord sequences used in that version..I hope!!!
Song is in standard tuning but G chords are fingered with third fret second string and open first ie.
