It seems pretty straightforward, the only thing I can't work out is there 
seems to be a lower A note lurking at times, 2 semis above the G string. I

wondered whether a capo on the second fret was involved, but the sound of 
the other chords suggest that there isn't. Can you see from the video (I 
wasn't aware that Robbie ever used a capo during live performance anyway).
