I had trouble deciphering the lyrics. --- Chords used: Badd9 F Dm C E --1-- --1-- --1-- --0--| B --1-- --1-- --3-- --1--| G --3-- --2-- --2-- --0--| D --3-- --3-- --0-- --2--| A --1-- --3-- ----- --3--| E ----- --1-- ----- -----| Keyboards parts arranged for guitar: Fig. A Fig. B E -----1-------------------- -----1--------------1------| B --------1-----------3--1-- --------1--------------1---| G -----------3-----2-------- -----------3-----3---------| D --------------0----------- --------------3------------| A --1--------------------3-- --1-----------3------------| E ------------------------- -----------------------1----| Fig. C Fig. D E -----1--------------1----- -----1--------------0--1--| B --------1--------3-----0-- --------1--------1--------| G -----------3--2----------- -----------3--0-----------| D --------------0----------- -----------------------0--| A --1--------------------3-- --1-----------3-----------| E -------------------------- --------------------------| (These first 4 parts break down to the following chords: Fig.A: Bbadd9 Dm C Fig.B: Bbadd9 Bbadd9/C F Fig.C: Bbadd9 Dm C Fig.D: Bbadd9 C Dm ) Fig. E Fig. F E --------- --10---10-11-13----10---8---8---8---8-10----10-11-13---10--8--| B --------- --------------------------------------------------------------| G --------- --------------------------------------------------------------| D --3-0-3-- --------------------------------------------------------------| A --------- --------------------------------------------------------------| E --------- --------------------------------------------------------------| Fig G.
