Tabs
The chords in the main riff are correct as I saw Stephen play this
live. It's easy to play. Just start with the G+G shape and move your
index and middle fingers only. Listen to the CD to get the rhythm.
The only departures from the main riff are the raked chords at the
end of verses 2 and 3 and the outro where the lyrics are aligned
diffrently with the riff.
