on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret,
with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live
i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo,
in the key of Em/G (i think that's right).
just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays,
 he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there.
(free finger-picking )

 if      we turn off the radio

 i've    only to    close      my    eyes
Em/addG                D  C/addG G  
 and the wind in the sycamores
Em/addG   D  
 will    carry me home

        the vine of my memory

 i'm   tempted to ring the bell
Em/addG       D  C/addG Cmaj7/addG D  
 maybe  they'd     ask   me     in
Em/addG       D  C/addG
 or maybe it's just as well
Em/addG  D  
 to just let it be
Em/addG       D          C  G  
  remember the price we paid?
Em/addG          D  C/addG Cmaj7/addG  D  
 it seemed like  a  lot  back     then
Em/addG       D  C/addG       G

 it   did need some pruning back

 and i know that it's not    my   place
Em/addG              D  C/addG           G
