Underdog (Save Me)
Turin Brakes
Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian
Chorded out by Russ Reading.
There's only 4 (easy) chords in this excellent song.
Bm can be played pretty much where you like on the neck
but I find it sounds much better if you play it higher up
(7th Fret sounds about right - Bm = 799777).  No capo needed.
Enjoy....
