This is the most of it. The other tab was good but wasnt finished and was a little bit
to play so Ive simplified for all. Youll have to listen to the song to get the timing
but these are all the notes. The chorus is a little iffy but it still sounds very close to the recording.

Part 1: This is the nice soft bit where all is calm and its just Bernard and the guitar.

Lyrics: 1.Ride out the storm, take on the wave, dont run, run, run
The winds gonna blow and the grounds gonna shake then its gone, gone, gone
2.Try not to mourn, shake off the pain dont run, run, run
The worlds gonna spin and the earths gonna quake then its done, done, done

Lyrics: If I ask you tenderly will you follow me down to the river
Ill let you down Ill break your wings
If you follow me down to the river


Note: All of this is played twice through. After the chorus the end bit of the chorus is
through about six times and then it goes into part 2.


Part 2: This is the bit where he gets nice and loud and everyone joins in. I think he
uses distortion, phaser and tremolo as effects for this part so if you got those
give em a whirl and see if you can get it right. Remember: The forward slash
between the chords at the top of the tab is a slide from chord to chord.

Lyrics: Ive got it all, all ahead of me now
A patterns gonna form and the winds gonna blow me down

Well thats it. After part 2 it goes back to part 1 with the band playing this time the
verse is used for the lyrics and it fades out with the end of the chorus. This is an
song from a great album. If you havent got it its worth getting.
