Richard B (sorry mate, I lost your full address sometime during the EMI
episode) sends this new fingering which makes it much easier on the
fingertips- Nic :

Chords and fingerings that I use (ignoring the capo at first fret). It
is far easier to move the first or second finger to play the F# on the
high E string

C add 9 C add 9 #11
e:---|---|-4-|---| e:---|-1-|---|---|
B:---|---|-3-|---| B:---|---|-3-|---|
G:---|---|---|---| G:---|---|---|---|
D:---|-1-|---|---| D:---|---|---|---|

G:---|---|---|---| G:---|---|---|---|
D:---|-2-|---|---| D:---|---|---|---|
A:---|-1-|---|---| A:---|-1-|---|---|
E:---|---|---|---| E:---|---|---|---|

Note: for Em7 Boo Hewerdine plays this chord with the D string open, but
I prefer the sound of the chord with the D string fretted.

Heavy on the bass strings

X32033 - Cadd2
X32032 - C(b5)add2 - 'flattened fifth'
XX0233 - Dsus4
XX0232 - D
022033 - Em7
022033 - Em7add2
320033 - G
022100 - E
022200 - Esus4

The trick is to fret the B and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e.
pinky on B string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the
second fret on the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked *
above).

e.g. for a Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar)

I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome.
