Hi this is my attempt at this brilliant song by Lloyd Cole.
I've tried to figure out the chords he plays higher up the neck on his
acoustic version on Youtube but gave up! I've put these chords together
listening to the record. They're not perfect, especially the Csus2 or Cadd9
chord, you pick which one sounds better. If anyone can improve on them that
would be great! You can add little licks hammering your middle finger and
pinkie on and off where you think it sounds right.
Capo 3rd fret
