Tabbed by DJ 19th Sept 2015
FINE TUNING:
The original studio recording is quite flat.
Using a chromatic tuner, de-tune all strings by
approx.(minus) -40 cents. Alternatively, a live
performance (but not any mimed TV versions) may be
more likely to be in standard pitch.
=====================================================
I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.

The Chorus time signature diverts from 4/4 time
with a bar of 3/4, a bar of 2/4, then back to 4/4.
You could also think of it as one bar of 5/4, if you
prefer (rather than a 3/4 and a 2/4), but for me,
splitting them, helps emphasise the first beats.

The remaining chord boxes can be the default
