Rayner) NOTES: -- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987), you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.) -- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed live).
