I have submitted this to Ultimate Guitar Archive, but in case there are folks googling this marvellous song unsuccessfully, I took the time to figure out the chords.
I am at present obsessed with this tune! Highly recommended for those into quality, luscious tunes of a particularly Anglophilic bent.
