in some open tuning or other - as Gordon's naming of chords like

In the "main" verses you hammer a sort of E and a vague D6; following Gordon's line, I've called these E1 and A1. The chorus then shifts to a good old E - A - B run. I've only included a few of the words. Mebbe some kinder soul cd stick the whole song on the list: the last verse I cant remember/work it all out.

"Once" goes pretty OK in open E as well- you basically fiddle around on the top and second strings, picking out the melody, and plonking a few chords (A, G# and B) in here and there. I'll bung that up on the list as well if anybody's intrested. Bash away Dave Coniam Hong Kong
