Tune up half-a-half-step to play with the CD. (I'm told that its quite common studio practice just to 'speed up' the final mix of a track either to balance out the length of each side of an album or to brighten the track up a bit. Doesn't stop it being a pain in the machine heads tho').

This arrangement doesn't translate very well onto guitar. Suggest improvising around this basic pattern for verses 1/3 : // D(sus9) A \\ e -||-------0----2-------0----2-------------0------------0----||-- B -||------3--3---3-----3--3---3------0------2------0-----2---||-- G -||.----2------------2-------------2---2---------2--2------.||-- D -||.---0------------0-------------2-------------2----------.||-- A -||------------------------------0-------------0------------||-- E -||---------------------------------------------------------||-- \\ // D slide E is e -2-/-4--- B -3-/-5--- G -2-/-4--- D -0------- A --------- EADGBe xx0232 - D x02220 - A 355433 - G 022100 - E 022000 - Em 244222 - F#m x46654 - C#m This song's quite tricky to play/sing- there are two key changes in the bridge * (from A to E) and %(E back down to A). I keep having trouble with the end of the third line in the verse ($). I think on keyboard its " c# D ", but on guitar, " A " sounds better, though every so often it sounds like a Bm. Whaddayathink? I think there's still plenty of room for improvement here, so feel free :>) Nic Nic.Boulton@cw.mercury.co.uk
