Looking for chords for Avila and Sweet peace.

Re: Wailin Jenny's

From what I can glean from YouTube, "Avila" and "Sweet Peace" are the same song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPR389YKAWs

The video is for a song called Avila, but the chorus says "Sweet Peace" in it twice.  So I'm assuming they're the same thing.  Anyhow . . .

It's in the key of B.  The guitarist in the video is capo'ed on fret 7 using E fingering to get the B.  I'm not gonna do that because there's an easier way.  Instead, put a capo on 2 and use A fingering.  It will sound good enough IMO.

Intro:  Alternate between D and A

Chorus:
(D)Oh ... (A)peace ... (D)never ... (A)fallen ... (D)never ... (A)fallen ... up(E)on this (E)town
(D)Oh ... (A)peace ... (D)never ... (A)fallen ... (D)never ... (A)fallen ... up(E)on this (A)town.

Then a short interlude in A.

Verse:  (Note:  The verse is identical to the chorus, except substitute two F#m chords for the D and A at the beginning of the second half like this:)
(D) ... (A) ... (D) ... (A) ... (D) ... (A) ... (E)everything (E) burned
Have you for(F#m)gotten ... (F#m)live here ... (D) ... (A) ... (D) ... (A) ... (E) ... (A)

Then another chorus.
Then a solo (violin in the video) which follows the verse chords.
Then another verse.
Then another chorus.
Then a chorus where the audience sings along.
Then the outro, which is another violin solo that follows the verse chords.

And that's it.
