i really want to learn to play this
i'm embarrassed to admit that i am hopeless with trying to work stuff out by ear (i know 😳 .there is no tab for this version anywhere (this is the version i want to cover). thanks a lot 🙂 p.s what would be a good setting to try and replicate the guitar sound (i play a vintage lemon drop guitar through a fender mustang 1 amp).
If no one else sorts it sooner, I'll give it a shot at tabbing with performance notes tonight.
You want lots of reverb and maybe a little bit of Chorus, a volume pedal could help for the swells (but I'm at work and these headphones aren't the best).
You could try contacting the bloke who played on it http://www.robinguthrie.com/contact.php

I had a go with tab to the original Tim Buckley and the chords seems sound. Played it on an acoustic but if you give it oodles of reverb and a good kick of chorus it'll sound similar.

thanks a lot everyone for your help 😀 DezB fantastic link by the way (i forgot the guitarist's name 😳 it is a beautiful cover of a beautiful song 😀
Yeah, I can't believe he's done so much stuff since the Cocteaus and This Mortal Coil.
