Quite a few barre chords, but in general easier to play than the other versions on
here which use them all the way through.
Hope you like it anyway. I've done my best to try and transpose all the chords
accurately, but if you have any corrections, please leave them in the comments.
* UPDATE *
Pete has subsequently posted a new tutorial for this song, which can be found here:

There are a few subtle differences, so I'll leave it up to you to decide which
version you like best :-)
