This song is off of Elbow's sixth album "The Take Off and Landing Of Everything".
The chord sequence repeats throughout the whole song but the timing can be a bit 
tricky. Try and learn the barre chords for this as I think it sounds a lot better 
but if you're not confident then you can use the open chords.

And that's it. It's a really nice simple song and one of Elbow's best, in my 
opinion. I think this tab is pretty accurate but there might be some mistakes in 
the timing of chords but it's not too difficult to figure out.
Thanks. :)
