This is based on Noel and Gems's performance at the Caberet Sauvage.  Everything sounds
cos i've played it with a buddy before.  The tempo is pretty easy and you should be able
figure it out when you listen to the song.  You can listen to it Youtube.
 
Acoustic part:

Capo on 2nd fret so chords names are due to location to the capo, so an F#m without the

G/F#    Em            G        D               C        G

But I'm sailin' down a river alone
          C                 G        Em
I'm still tryin' to find my way back home

C           G
life is automatic
A7?         C                G
