LYRICS IN CAPITALS AD  DARDEN SE TH'S VOCAL


Arrangement :

The above is a bit of a bodge to try and make one guitar sound like two
guitars and a keyboard! If you have a few instruments/musos to spare, try this
arrangement:


Guitar 1/Keyboard: Just play G D C chords throughout (except the bridge)


Guitar 2: Play this riff throughout, once per line of vocals

B|--0---1----0------------0----1----0---------| :||
G|----------------2----------------------0-----| |
                           ^
(the part marked ? in the  |
 tab is supposed to sound  |
                     like that part of the bassline)


Bass/Guitar 3: Riff/bassline as for Guitar 2, but one/two octaves lower.
