TOM ODELL - ELIZABETH
The lyrics are a bit weird cause I had no idea what he was singing a couple of times...
I recommend playing it with capo in 6th (transpose -6)
Edit (t_p_m): Many of the lyrics have been fixed, though I'm still unsure of the lines in the pre-chorus, as 
many of the lyrics posted online don't seem to know either.
I hear either 'Take what you lands, and the walls, and the sea' or 'take all the stands, and the roles, and 
the scenes'. Sing what you think sounds best!
