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.

Wow! Now if that wasn't worth the price of admission! Thanks Marc for this post. Neils responses are priceless.

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.
