Richard B (sorry mate, I lost your full address sometime during the EMI
episode) sends this new fingering which makes it much easier on the
fingertips- Nic :

Chords and fingerings that I use (ignoring the capo at first fret).  It
is far easier to move the first or second finger to play the F# on the
high E string

 C add 9                  C add 9 #11

Note: for Em7 Boo Hewerdine plays this chord with the D string open, but
I prefer the sound of the chord with the D string fretted.

This is on Boo Hewerdine's second album, Ignorance. It's in Ab (capo at

the nut.

Just keep that tab going throughout the song (except the bridge).

D'you ever see London at night and not want to go   home ?
D'you ever take drugs    stay up late       just to see what you would

                                                           or did you
turn

                                                         or did you turn
round                         with      16         miles  to  go ?

X32033 - Cadd2
X32032 - C(b5)add2  -  'flattened fifth'

320033 - G
022100 - E

The trick is to fret the B and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e.
pinky on B string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the
second fret on the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked *
above).

e.g. for a Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar)

I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome.
