Here's my version, hope you like it:

The chord changes are rather simple, it's pretty much a drone chord with
a walking bass-line.

This is the verse, like I say, a drone chord with a descending bass line
(The notes above the tab is the bass note)


			       1/3         2/4

     A/E      C       B         G           D
||e---O---|---O---|---O---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||b---O---|---O---|---O---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||g---4---|---4---|---4---| |---4---|| ||---7---||
||d---2---|---X---|---X---| |---O---|| ||---O---||
||a---O---|--h3---|---2---| |---X---|| ||---5---||
||E---X---|---X---|---X---| |---3---|| ||---X---||

The first and third times through, the riff goes to the 'G', whilst the
second and third times, it slides up to the 'D' bit.

An example (using the bass notes to deliniate the changes):

A/E	       C		     B

	Do you know	Where ....

       G

Do you know ....


A/E	      C		      B

	Is it simple?	....

    D

The chances seem so slim


Etcetera...  (pardon, but I can't remember the lyrics.  I apologise for
any lyrical bollocksings up).  Now, the chorus:

The chords are (yes, dearies, real chords for the chorus!):


    Fmaj7    Em      Emaj    C9     Dsus2

||e---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---||
||b---1---|---O---|---O---|---3---|---3---||
||g---2---|---O---|---1---|---O---|---2---||
||d---3---|---2---|---2---|---2---|---O---||
||a---3---|---2---|---2---|---3---|---O---||
||E---X---|---O---|---O---|---X---|---X---||


So, here's how it works:


Fmaj7          			      Em			Em-h-Emaj

Iiiiiiiiiii'm  			      Left b...

Fmaj7	       			       Em			Em-h-Emaj

Left behind, left behind	It's a ....

	Fmaj7			       Em			Em-h-Emaj

Your protection from ....

 C9				 Dsus2

Ejected from the slide		....


And that's all folks.  Listen to the record for the form (verse chorus
verse, as a great man once said), and at the fade out, marriage bit at
the end, play the verse chord sequence, but don't go up to the 'D' bit,
keep repeating the riff with the 'G' ending!  Have loadsa fun...
