Coming Up For Air chords

  			Another song the Key of Tim... Dm! This one's been a live favourite for a  
year or two and  has finally made it to CD on the Thankyou EP. The C/E   
indicates that the chord is a C but the bass is inverting  it by playing 
the chord's 3rd (E) as the lowest note in the mix. The lead-in note to the 
second F chord in the chorus is an E, I've notated it as e->F.

My hand on your back, where your wings would've been 
               G
