solo... 3mins 4secs
music halts on an A minor chord, then the guitar and the drums and all come back in over
chorus chords (the E and the Dbm). its acutally two guitars. one does the low bit you
only just hear, the other does all the fancy stuff.

I'm tabbing this on an acoustic, so not sure how accurate the above is. the solo is (in
opinion) pretty much erroneous anyway. it doesn't seem to add anything really. and i
it for you anyway. i think the chord structure is really nice in this song, and its a
shame you can't realy hear it or get a feel for it on the record. it sounds really nice
on an acoustic though.

anyway, its pretty easy to make it sound nice if you play around with barred chords and
them in different places and stuff. i think the album version is over produced, but
a really nice song there under all the flowery stuff.
