Richard B (sorry mate, I lost your full address sometime during the EMI
episode) sends this new fingering which makes it much easier on the
fingertips- Nic :
Chords and fingerings that I use (ignoring the capo at first fret). It
is far easier to move the first or second finger to play the F# on the
high E string
C add 9 C add 9 #11

Note: for Em7 Boo Hewerdine plays this chord with the D string open, but
I prefer the sound of the chord with the D string fretted.

Just keep that tab going throughout the song (except the bridge).
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 ?
E Esus4 E Esus4
Think about the world, and those who'd see us hang,
E Esus4 E Esus4
saying it's the only language we understand, we understand
Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 *
And all those lives, we'll never know
If we turn round with 16 miles to go
And all those lives, we'll never know
If we turn round with 16 miles to go

Heavy on the bass strings

X32032 - C(b5)add2 - 'flattened fifth'

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.
