This is my version of an old English hymn called Jerusalem.

This gets played at a lot of sporting events that England play in and is almost like an unofficial National anthem.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a very different version to this.

I've posted this because it gives me so many problems. I've been playing this since about august and must have played it a million times. I just can't get it clean.
I've put a lot of work into improving my left hand position on this song and it is a lot better than it used to be.
Any suggestions on how to get it cleaner would be appreciated.

I added an update below of this song.
I tried to make the changes that Neil suggested.
I've paid much more attention to the timing of the song and I now think this is solid (hopefully).
Although Neil didn't address the left hand rattles, buzzes etc this seems to have got better as well.
I haven't managed to get much more movement in the right hand but I'm working on it.

Thanks so much for the reply.

Gives me lots to work on.
I've tried that D form chord you suggested. That's a really difficult chord but I'll keep practicing it.
