Hey everyone, thanks for the nice comments.  It's just an awesome song and I was already humming it for months after Geir posted his (superior, no doubt, version).  I'm glad Geir posted the lyrics and chords!  The song suit someone with a somewhat deep-ish voice like me.

Hey - this sounds great Des!

Your vocals are super crisp and clear! Guitar sounds cool too.

One question - How did you like those "thumb" chords? I thought they were a killer!

Good work on a great song man!

Actually I played the guitar in standard tuning, since I've never before tried playing alternative tunings and that would really confuse my hand "muscle memory".  As for Geir's "thumb chords" I sorta faked it, I played

faked "A*/e"   -2220-             
faked "B*/f#"  -4440-             
faked "C*/g"   -5550-             

Not quite the same as what Geir posted, but seems to sound close enough.

I fretted them with my index, middle, and ring finger on the three strings and strummed so as to (mostly) avoid the highest and lowest strings.

On this day bump !

Still touched by this performance.
