Dido - Dont Leave Home Chords & Tabs

This is an acoustic version of the song that I picked up by watching some of the live
performances of it and listening to the original recorded version. The other available
tabs for this song are pretty poor, especially if you're trying to get the original 
sound. So I thought I'd give it a go XD. Please rate and review, corrections are welcome.

Chords used:
(I know that these are not the correct name for the chords, but they are the names of
the original shapes played in relation to the capo)

 Gmaj chord   Amaj chord   Dmaj chord   Em chord
 e|-3---|     e|-0---|     e|-2---|     e|-0---|

Oh           don't leave home
Gmaj   Amaj              Dmaj


Oh           don't leave home
Gmaj   Amaj              Em






Chorus
same chords from the pre-chorus are used in a slightly different order

If you're cold   I'll keep you warm
Dmaj          Amaj             Em

If you're low   just hold on
Dmaj          Amaj         Em    Amaj

Cause I will    be your safe   ty
Dmaj          Amaj       Em    Gmaj

Oh don't leave home
Dmaj           Amaj



That's basically it, for the last verse:
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you

There is no guitar, but there is some sort of effect that comes in once, like a beeping
sound, I've found the best way to reproduce that sound is by playing around with the 6th
and 7th frets on the g string, while palm muting it, to make it as soft sounding as 
possible. The guitar fades back in towards the end of this verse. You can softly strum the
Dmj chord, keep increasing the volume and then transition into the chorus. You can end 
the song on Dmaj, let it ring and then repeat the intro. Hope this was helpful. If you
