Long Distance  Turin Brakes

This is the definative song of the album i think, and it's one of my favourite
songs ever written. (Also, despite critical statements about the Ether Song
album, it's great, and perfect for those seeking acoustic bliss.)

Intro
=====
Here they are just playing through the verse chords, first plucking the 5th
string note, and then strumming the rest of the strings after. (N.B. When they
reach the C they strum the rest of the strings subsequent times.)
The chords are:
[Emin] [-] [D] [-] [C] [-] [B]  
Then they launch into the verse:
(N.B. when strumming the chords highlight the top 3 strings to get the same
effect on the song.)
