Here's a great track from The Verve, from the Album
"Urban Hymns".
I decided to do this song as the quality of the ones
already on UG isn't that great (The Chord Versions), and as with all my
contributions I've kept it nice and simple so anyone
can play it.  Enjoy!
 
 
It's worth pointing out that in the chorus, when changing from
F to G, slide up the F to the 3rd fret (Written "/G") rather than playing
an open G chord as it sounds much better this way.

He means the G at the verse. And I think that after Em in the chorus, he slides up to G and then strum F.

Hmmm... not liking this. That G sounds all wrong... either way up... Let me have a butchers...

Thanks for that Live4ever1234, I'll look into it. You could've at least rated it! :P
