Bridge: I'll try to write down the notes of the solo.
Keep in mind I'm not writing repeated notes twice or more.
It's the same D/E chord throughout just keep comping it through out.

1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |1 2 3 4 |
Chords: D/E


Notes: F#--E--B--A G# A B G# F#--E--B--A G# A B F#


C/G | Gmaj7
No it didn't work out
[C/D] no it didn't work out
the way we [Gmaj7]thought it would
no it didn't work [C/D]out
an arranged [Gmaj7]marriage
is not so good[E/F#]
