Original Album:	 Regeneration (The Divine Comedy)

Words and Music by Mark Hannon
Copyright © 2001 Parlophone/EMI
Published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
This was transcribed from the album version which seems to be in Eb.
So capo on 3! Chords are relative to capo. Timing is 4/4.
Note how you voice the chords!


INTRO:
Notes:
The album track doesn't have an intro but I stuck one in, in case you were
thinking to busk this and needed a bit of time to remember the first line.

Chords:
C     x32010
Csus4 x33010

[play: 4/4| C | Csus4 |]


VERSE1:
Notes:
Play the C - Em7b5 transition by keeping your 2nd finger where it is
(on E; 4th str) and moving your index finger to fret the Bb on the 6th str
and your 3rd finger to fret the D on the 2nd str.
There: a walk in the park...!

Yes, you could play G (320033), instead; but I'm sticking with G5/D.

| C        Em7b5       | A7sus4    A7     | Dm7     Em       | C  Cmaj7

VERSE3:
Notes:
** Modulates to E here i.e. VERSE3 chords are all up a semi-tone.
When playing live, Hannon usually switches to capo 4.
The chords relative to the capo are exactly the same as before.

The alternative to switching capo is to play everything sharp e.g. C#, Fm7b5,
A#7sus4, A#7, F# and G#7 etc etc... You get the picture!

Actually, changing to capo 4 isn't such a bad idea. And changing is quick.

Chords (@ capo 4):
C      x32010    F   xx3211    C       x32010    G5/D  xx0033

| C          | Em7b5       | A7sus4    A7   | F       G7
  Give me your love and I'll give  you    the perfect love song

| C          | Em7b5          | A7sus4     A7            
  Give me your word that you'll be    true    to me,
