Tuning: E A D G B E
As played (well, basically) by Richard Thompson on the 1994 live album "Two letter words". Pay attention to the structure, it's unusual: the verse is 3 + 2 + 3 +3/4 bars, and the refrain is 3 + 3 + 4 bars. Not the standard 8-bar thing. The base Gm-Dm/F-C/E at the end of the chorus is optional, but nice (not the last time though). [Verse 1]
