Richard BB (sorry mate, I lost your full address sometime during the EMI
episode) sends this new fingering which makes it much easier on the
fingertips- Nic :

Chords and fingerings that I use (ignoring the capo at first fret).  It
is far easier to move the first or second finger to play the F#F# on the
high E MajorE string

Note: for E minor 7Em7 Boo Hewerdine plays this chord with the D MajorD string open, but
I prefer the sound of the chord with the D MajorD string fretted.

EADGBe
X32033 - Cadd2Cadd2
X32032 - C(b5)add2  -  'flattened fifth'
XX0233 - Dsus4Dsus4
XX0232 - D MajorD
022033 - E minor 7Em7
022033 - Em7add2
320033 - G+G
022100 - E MajorE
022200 - Esus4Esus4

The trick is to fret the BB and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e.
pinky on BB string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the
second fret on the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked *
above).

e.g. for a Cadd2Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar)

I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome.
