Staralfur (acoustic) - Sigur Ros
Most of this was worked out using
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn8j4LxQAMQ
although the song order is different to the cd.
Just to confuse you I've kept the original order.
Also the video is in E and not the half note up on the cd.
There's a mp3 of exactly how I play it here (capo on 1st fret):

starálfur

The instrumental interplay:

A7 x02020
A7add 11 = x02022

On the record (Agaetis Byrjun), the song is played half a note higher.
I have already stated this near the top
