verse:

A---------------------     -------------------       -----
D---------------------     -------------------       -----
A---------------------     -------------------       -----
D--5-5-5-----5-5-5---- then to: --3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-- and back to: --5--

play full chords if you want to.

"i always thought i'd see your name in flashing light":

D--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-10-10-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-35-5-5-5-5-5-5--

last time, play the Chord diagramG+G steadily then down to Chord diagramFF and back to verse.

then there's thurston's gtr break, when the drums come in for a moment
play Chord diagramG+G to Chord diagramFF again, then pause, then come back in on Chord diagramG+G and Chord diagramFF for the
final verse (maybe play it an octave higher @ 17th => 15th frets).
