A B
Your voice is such a

thing, such a thing, such a thing, such a thing...
[**Note: Alternating F# and F#/E:
Just do an F# barre chord (don't play the top 2 strings),
and alternately lift off your index finger.
Like this:
F# F#/E
E|-(2)---(0)---------------|
B|-(2)---(0)---------------|
G|--3-----3----------------|
D|--4-----4----------------|
A|--4-----4----------------|
E|--2-----0----------------|
This alternating theme is heard pretty consistently throughout the song,
whenever an F# chord is played. Listen and you'll hear it. Back to the
song...]
