The Wires Are Down chords by The Blue Nile

The Blue Nile - The Wires Are Down - Transcribed 17/05/98 by Mike Garoghan

****************************************************************************

The guitar is muted throughout this song and uses mostly bottom 3 strings.
The chords are created by the interaction of the Guitar and Bass.
So I have attempted to include the bass notes in the chords shown.
So this is not exactly what the guitar plays on the record.
For a solo rendition You could add the grace notes of A6 and B6(Number
denotes string)
during the first part of the verse to emulate the bass guitar part.

The chords provided below may not be correctly named but I have provided
chord tabs for reference.
