There is a YouTube video of him singing this song at Acoustic Routes Cambridge \r\nin 2007\r\n(search for 'Harvey Andrews Acoustic Routes' as the song title is not in the video \r\ntitle). He plays it with the capo at fret 3 and uses the chords of the key of G but in the\r\nvideo recording his tuning seems to be about a quarter tone down.
