`Song: Something in the air

TUNING: E-B-E-G#-B-E (Open E tuning)
5th string tuned up to B
4th string tuned up to E
3rd string tuned up to G#
Once you've got the open tuning the chords are very
much simpler to play than the chord names would suggest,
as long as you're okay with barre chords. The piano break
is probably the trickiest to get a handle on but I've
tried to find the easiest shapes for guitar, or just skip
that section as a lot of those who cover the song do,
some don't even bother with the key changes and just
stay in E throughout.
N.B.
Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website
might automatically suggest and use the typed shapes
shown below:
[Verses & Choruses]
E = 000000 F# = 222222 G# = 444444
F#m11 = 220100 G#m11 = 442322 A#m11 = 664544
E * = x500xx F# * = xx222x G# * = xx444x
E7/D = x300xx F#7/E = xx022x G#7/F# = xx244x
E6/C# = x200xx F6/D# = x422xx G#6/F = x644xx
E/B = x000xx F#/C# = x222xx G#/D# = x444xx
Alternative shape for m11th chords:
F#m11 = 022100 G#m11 = 244322 A#m11 = 466544
