===Verse===
Guitar is exactly the same as in the intro, but I've
put it here so you can see how the words fit. (It's not
hard, but newer players will benefit) I've put in the first
chord to be played, but play it the same as the intro.
I'm on a sentimental journey into sight and sound

===Bridge===
A nice little bit to take us into the chorus. Watch
out for the B5/Bb5 timing. Apart from that, a piece
of pervervial.
I'm on a mission into destination unknown

The guitar is the same as the verse and intro, except

As "castaway" is said, play the verse sequence X2.
===Verse 2===
Same as verse 1, but new lyrics.
I'm riding on the night train and driving stolen cars
testing my nerves out on the boulevards
Spontaneous combustion on the corners of my mind
leaving in the lurch and I'm taking back what's mine.
===Bridge===
Do the bridge again.
===Chorus===
Do the chorus again.
===Solo===
This is quite hard to get right, but just get the notes out.
They all fit in well with the chords.

===Verse 3===
Bass plays on it's own through the next verse
===Bridge===
Guitar joins back in. Normal bridge.
===Chorus===
The chorus plays though a few times, and that's it.
Here's an alternate, just slightly trickier version of the
verse and chorus that may be played or may not. I can't quite
make out. Anyway, I play it like this:
