if you listen to one of Ben Gibbard's (lead singer of postal servie and death cab for cutie and other such acts) live shows, you can hear him play his version of this song acoustic with chords.

just wanted to let you know that iron and wine originally wrote and performed this song. His version is very much guitar driven and would be a great way to learn it.
"The Postal Service supported its full-length album Give Up, with a successful concert tour and has stated its intention to tour again in the future. The album's most well-known single was "Such Great Heights", which was featured in advertisements for UPS and Kaiser Permanente. The song was later covered by Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Brack Cantrell, and Iron & Wine."
Dude, you've just earned major cool points just for mentioning Ben Folds! Please do tutorials of some Ben Folds songs, great video by the way :¬)

Thank you for the lesson I can now play this song but I have one question;
When you are doing the F chord, non barred, is the ring or third finger muting the A string?
Thanks again
