It is far easier to move the first or second finger to play the F# on the high E string C add 9 C add 9 #11 e:---|---|-4-|---| e:---|-1-|---|---| B:---|---|-3-|---| B:---|---|-3-|---| G:---|---|---|---| G:---|---|---|---| D:---|-1-|---|---| D:---|---|---|---| A:---|---|-2-|---| A:---|---|-2-|---| E:---|---|---|---| E:---|---|---|---| Dsus4 D e:---|---|-4-|---| e:---|-2-|---|---| B:---|---|-3-|---| B:---|---|-3-|---| G:---|-1-|---|---| G:---|-1-|---|---| D:---|---|---|---| D:---|---|---|---| A:---|---|---|---| A:---|---|---|---| E:---|---|---|---| E:---|---|---|---| Em7 Em9 e:---|---|-4-|---| e:---|-2-|---|---| B:---|---|-3-|---| B:---|---|-3-|---| G:---|---|---|---| G:---|---|---|---| D:---|-2-|---|---| D:---|---|---|---| A:---|-1-|---|---| A:---|-1-|---|---| E:---|---|---|---| E:---|---|---|---| Note: for Em7 Boo Hewerdine plays this chord with the D string open, but I prefer the sound of the chord with the D string fretted.

It's in Ab (capo at 1) both live and on the album. Below is written as though played in G at the nut.

Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 * D'you ever see London at night and not want to go home ? D'you ever take drugs stay up late just to see what you would see D'you ever have love and hate scratched across your hand ? or did you turn round with 16 miles to go ? Cadd2 * Dsus4 * Em7 * D'you ever just walk away and disappear for days ? D'ou ever have a girl----friend called Catherine Wheel? D'you ever come home from work and say I'm never going back again? or did you turn round with 16 miles to go ?
