The recorded version has two fingerpicked guitars playing at once. I didn't
try to figure that out, but instead tried to make a nice single-guitar
version with the proper chord voicings and a similar playing style.
Standard tuning, capo on 3rd fret

Intro/Verse - play the verse pattern once as an intro:
[G]"From the air the fields[Em] east of Dublin look[Am7] just like a [Dsus2]watercolor"
[G]"When the streets arise[Em] up to meet the plan[Am7]e nobody [Dsus2]notices"
[G] [Em] [Am7] [Dsus2]

[Am7] [Dsus2] [G] [C]
