This was a great song i heard on radio 1 live lounge, by Jonny Borrell (from razorlight)
accompanied by Lisa Moorish. It is a great acoustic version of the Pogues original
and an absolute bugger to tab cos there is no logical repetition. But finally got it
thought i would post it, enjoy............
