Heavens On Fire chords by The Radio Dept

Chords with lyrics

This is my interpretation of the song, I know it's not 100% correct but it does sound like the original song. I think the original song is played in a different tuning.

Chords in accordance to Capo on the 1st fret. Notice that E minor 7Em7 is different from Em7*.
