Tuning: Standard

Great song, by a great band, I recommend.
Doing it as a duet with my girlfriend, 
noticed the version up here could use a 
little touching up. Thought I could do
everyone that little favour.

for those of you unfamiliar with the 
lineup of the dears, Murray is the 
lead vocalist, Natalie is his wife and
keyboardist, the male and female there
should be pretty obvious. I indicated 
where which is singing. if there's 
parentheses, it's usually Murray.

Intro
    Bm                               B+                               4x
e||---7-------7-------7---7---7---7---|-7-------7-------7---7---7---7----||
