------- 

Gm7:   353333
Dm:    557765

Ebm:   668876
C7:    335353
Gm/Eb: 355343

[nb: instead of C7, could use Dm/E 
chord as this is easier on fingers]


Notes:
------ 

It could be useful to use a Capo on 
the 3rd fret, although not 
necessary.

song for most verses.
When playing solo on the guitar, 
there are variations on the last 
third
that could be played to give a 
livelier feel:

Furthermore, on the Gm chord 
throughout the song, you could also 
add a pattern like
         Gm - Gm7 - G* - Gm
        rather than strumming the 
one chord at time
                G* [just bar the 3rd
 fret]

In the song, Neil just plays the 
single chord on the guitar whilst 
the instruments play
variations giving different 
harmonics.  The above are ideas when
 playing solo to provide
such harmonic variances.
