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.

Just keep that tab going throughout the song (except the bridge).
Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 *
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
see
D'you ever have love and hate scratched across your hand ?
or did you
turn
round with 16 miles to go ?
Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 *
D'you ever just walk away and disappear for days ?
D'ou ever have a girl----friend called Catherine Wheel?
D'you ever come home from work and say I'm never going back again?
or did you turn
round with 16 miles to go ?

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

022200 - Esus4
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.
