Note: I'm tabbing this mostly from memory, so there's probably going to be some wrong 
parts...keep in mind that Snow Patrol, while talented, are not the most accomplished 
musicians, so I try to keep it simple and playable.

Capo on 6th fret, move it to suit vocals.

And there you have it. Nice song, good to hear songs about Belfast that don't involve 
bombs or shootings and stuff...
