Chord/Tab song: Just Be

Transcribed from the premiere of this wonderful song on Jools Holland's Later programme
on BBC2, May 2012
That performance was accompanied by piano - no guitar -
so I hope the following represents a good arrangement for solo guitar.

Standard tuning, capo 1
All chords relative to open tuning
i.e. for Asus2 play x02200 which is in fact A#sus2

Chords

------

Asus2 x02200
Bsus4 x24400
C#m x46650
E 022100
B/G# 4x4400
