Riff 2:
To me, it sounds like riff 2 is part of the bass line, but for playing solo acoustic, it
pretty good to add it in.

Chorus:

[C] When you [C/B]close your [Am]eyes

Do you [G]like what you [D/F#]see?

[F]Inside your mind

[C] And do you [C/B]like to [Am]dream

About the [G]stars a[D/F#]bove

[F]Once in a while?

Play (Riff 1) x2
over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#

Verse 1:

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Don't go to the otherside

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
For nothin' at all

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
And it'll make it worth your while

Am G D/F# (No Riff 2)
Gonna break down that wall

F(single upstroke strum, let ring out)
Gonna take the fall

CHORUS
(with acoustic and doubling distorted electrics)

Play:
(Riff 1) x2
over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Don't go to the other side

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
You might mess up that hair

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Just wait you might change your mind

Am G D/F# (No Riff 2)
To think that people might care

[F] About your hair anyway

CHORUS
(with acoustic and doubling electric guitars)

Play:
(Riff 1 and Solo) x4
over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#
(Since I'm not one for doing exactly the same solo, I'd just pull out a slide and go
in A Blues or something. Whatever floats your boat. He does use a slide though, for just
every solo/interlude in the song.)

Bridge:
The chords here are strummed once, and where the chord is in parenthesis, it is implied,
it's not actually played, but it's tonality is there.

[Am] Don't go to the [D/F#]other side

[Am] Just get down on your [(D/F#)]knees

[(Am)] And show me what you are[(D/F#)] made of

[(Am)] I'm begging you [(D/F#)]please

[F] Just please go away

CHORUS x2 (second time to end with some solo guitar work in A)

[C] Don't [C/B]go to the [Am]other side[G]

[(G)]Once in a [D/F#]while

[F]Once in a while

[C] Don't [C/B]go to the [Am]other side[G]

[(G)]Once in a [D/F#]while

F(let ring out to end)
Onnnnnnnnnnce in a while

A Blues Scale:
