So I decided to transpose what I had worked out using a capo in the 5th fret. I stole this idea from Tim himself as there is a YouTube video of him performing this song with Brian Cox on piano and Tim on guitar using a capo. I find it much more enjoyable to play along to this way. Hope you enjoy. Please let me know if there's anything you think might be wrong with it as I'm always grateful for constructive critisism. Cheers!
