This is Paul Weller's cover of a Gordon Lightfoot song. It could have ended in tears of the very wrong kind. But no. Weller makes a marvellous job of it. Eight great verses. The trick is to get a nice lilting rhythm and nail the little roll on and off the E to Esus4 at the end of each alternate line (with your pinkie).
