Richard Chord diagramBB (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 Chord diagramF#F# on the
high Chord diagramE MajorE string

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

16 Miles (Boo Hewerdine)

This is on Boo Hewerdine's second album, Ignorance. It's in Chord diagramAbAb (capo at
1) both live and on the album. Below is written as though played in Chord diagramG+G at
the nut.

Just keep that tab going throughout the song (except the bridge).

The trick is to fret the Chord diagramBB and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e.
pinky on Chord diagramBB 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 Chord diagramCadd2Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar)

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