"Hallow's Eve"(Chris Hoban)
 From "The Long Way Home"(2015)
Steve uses a capo on the first fret. 
Go light the E5lantern Asus2at your Bsus4door,
 and honour E5those who’ve Asus2gone beBsus4fore
The worlds that Asus2part us Bsus4now are C#mtwain,
 for Hallow’s EE5ve is Bsus4here aE5gain!

Bsus4The Westering Asus2sun grows Bsus4pale and E5wan,
Ethe day grows dark, the Asus2nights draw Bsus4long
The autumn Asus2leaves are Bsus4tipped with C#mfire,
 and fruit hangs E5ripe uBsus4pon the E5briar
Chorus 
Sweep out the hearth, and clear the grate,
And bid fond welcome at your gate. 
Gather the final harvest in,
For all the hardship winter brings.
Chorus 
Break (verse progression)
Between the bonfires lightly tread,
And bless the year that lies ahead.
The seasons turn to frost and dew,
Before the sun its strength renews.
Chorus X2, guitar tacit during first half
of second chorus.
