These chords sound good on a solo acoustic to fill the song out, but also sound good if the 0 is replaced
by an x. I drone the open A string between the chords if played without a loop station or backing band.

PRE CHORUS
The bracketed notes highlight the fill chord played behind the main rhythm. I have combined the tab for one
guitar, and have stayed with the prominent voicing where I can.
Note: Where there is space in the song to play both parts, I use brackets where the note is played quietly.

BRIDGE
In a solo performance I also play the Dm7 chord to the rhythm the keyboard plays, but just tabbed the
guitar stabs as per the album version.

SOLO
I play the chord in this position to be closer to the lick portion of the solo. The melody score that I saw,
says this is a Dm6/A. It sounds wrong in the place it is located in the score, but sounds good in this instance.
(It doesn't sound correct when substituted into the verse though.)

OUTRO SOLO
These parts I originally tabbed at the 12th fret, because it was close to the previous lick and seemed
easier to play. When watching live performance videos, the parts were played around the 7th fret, so I
changed it to suit. Other videos I saw did actually have the lick around the 12th fret, so I don't think
it really matters either way.

PRE CHORUS
The bracketed notes highlight the fill chord played behind the main rhythm. I have combined the tab for one
guitar, and have stayed with the prominent voicing where I can.
Note: Where there is space in the song to play both parts, I use brackets where the note is played quietly.

BRIDGE
In a solo performance I also play the Dm7 chord to the rhythm the keyboard plays, but just tabbed the
guitar stabs as per the album version.

SOLO
I play the chord in this position to be closer to the lick portion of the solo. The melody score that I saw,
says this is a Dm6/A. It sounds wrong in the place it is located in the score, but sounds good in this instance.
(It doesn't sound correct when substituted into the verse though.)

OUTRO SOLO
These parts I originally tabbed at the 12th fret, because it was close to the previous lick and seemed
easier to play. When watching live performance videos, the parts were played around the 7th fret, so I
changed it to suit. Other videos I saw did actually have the lick around the 12th fret, so I don't think
it really matters either way.
