Convert COSMIC VCF coordinates to that of ensembl format?

HI so I downloaded the mutation VCF from COSMIC recently and realized that the coordinates are ones without the "chr" prefix so I'm wondering there are any tools to convert this coodinate sys to one without the chr prefix ( I believe this is the ensemble one).

I can use awk to replace and add +1, but on other threads I heard this is not a good idea.

thanks in advance.

It looks like you have what you need already
