I've been a-googling this morning & already know that it's NOT the one by Matt Redman. Can anyon point me in the right direction? |

If that's the one you'll have to wait for a bit. Unless someone else has already done it. |

I think he plays it in DADGAD if I remember. If this is any help I play it in DADGAD and it approximates the way Dick Gaughan plays it though it's quite a bit different from how he plays it. Can augment it with harmonics at 12th and 7th frets First line D - 000200 C - 032000 D - 000200 Second line F - 330200 G - 550400 D - 000200 Third line G - 550400 ? - 101000 D - 000200 A - 000220 Fourth line C - 032000 G - 550400 from memory... |
