Tuning: D G C F A D
Based on the live acoustic performance for BBC4 Songbooks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jQbfw0HXX0 Tune down a full step and play the chord shapes shown in the tab. If in standard tuning, transpose -2 (with no capo) for correct pitch (or you could not transpose and just play the chords below to match the C major key of the original Band Aid recording). If you aren't comfortable with 5th chords just play the full chords. Chords: C5 x35xxx F5 13xxxx G5 35xxxx Dm xx0231 [Intro] C5 [Verse]
