hey guys
fell in love with the song.. looked for the tab.. there was none so i figured it out!
took a while so enjoy!
btw its only a useful tab if you have a good sense of rhythm for how the song goes, i'll
provide chords, no timing.. it'd take me a week to tab the timing.. i mean, what the
is a semi-crochet.. well here's the vid clip i figured it out from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIHFlt-h7fc
song is in drop D but can easily be played in e standard.
 
the chords!
D: xx0232
Dsus2: xx0230
Dsus4: xx0233
Am7: x02010
Am7*: x02013
D*: xx0xxx (Just play the d string) // or 0xxxxx if playing in Drop-D
A*: x0xxxx
Bm: x24432
C/f: 132010 // or 332010 in drop-d [a normal C (x32010) is fine, the F root just adds
depth]

thank you for the comments. @lotus sometimes thom plays x02030 after the am7 (like in the studio version). let your ear be the judge but i think the am7* i have correct. play the g note on the high E to the song and you might see that they sound in harmony! (same note). i think so anyway also id like to express my delight of this track being included on kotl.. soo happy :)
