It's difficult to distinguish the other guitar part playing over the main guitar, but it
something like this. It is played somewhat fast. Each of the below measures are played

Through the alleyways
To cool off in the shadows
Then into the street
Following the water
There's a bearded man
Paddling in his canoe
Looks as if he has
Come all the way from the Cayman Islands
These canals, it seems
They all go in circles
Places look the same
And we're the only difference
The wind is in your hair
It's covering my view
I'm holding on to you
On a bike we've hired until tomorrow
If only they could see
If only they had been here
They would understand
How someone could have chosen
To go the length I've gone
To spend just one day riding
Holding on to you
I never thought it would be this clear

*****************************************************************************
[Notes]
In the live version of this song, the capo is at fret 2 instead of 1. It also
features the additional guitar in the instrumental section, and an alternate
ending (returns to the opening theme for 2 rounds with the 3 final chords
plucked [Guitar 1: x0201x > x0203x > 0xx230; Guitar 2: xx759x > xx97Tx >
xxT9T0]).
The live version contains some improvised ornaments in guitar #2 right before
the closing riff. Usually it's just one or two notes (8 on the B string & 9
on the G string) over the span of the guitar #1 main riff. Watch one of their
live performances on Youtube to see what I mean.
Thought I'd release this cohesive tab since Erland's part (guitar #2) is
nowhere to be found online. The tab above should be faithful to the 3-3-2
rhythm incase timing is an issue.
Through the alleyways
To cool off in the shadows
Then into the street
Following the water
There's a bearded man
Paddling in his canoe
Looks as if he has
Come all the way from the Cayman Islands
These canals, it seems
They all go in circles
Places look the same
And we're the only difference
The wind is in your hair
It's covering my view
I'm holding on to you
On a bike we've hired until tomorrow
If only they could see
If only they had been here
They would understand
How someone could have chosen
To go the length I've gone
To spend just one day riding
Holding on to you
I never thought it would be this clear

version 5
Capo: 2nd fret
Standard Tuning: EAGDBe
NOTE: this is not EXACTLY how they play it. this version sounds very similar to the recording
It sounds great by itself, but if you play along with the track they have slightly different
picking. Play around with it and you can probably get it pretty close to how they really

Places look the same
And we're the only difference
The wind is in your hair
It's covering my view
I'm holding on to you
On a bike we've hired until tomorrow
If only they could see
If only they had been here
They would understand
How someone could have chosen
To go the length I've gone
To spend just one day riding
Holding on to you
I never thought it would be this clear
