VERSE [0:00]
_____________________________________________________________________________
The first verse has a very acoustic feel; try and hear the rhythm of Tom's
guitar for this section. The notes on the G strings aren't loudly played.
Tom
e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|

G|-9--9--9--9-/|-11-11-11-x--|-4--4--4--4-/|-5--5--5--5--|

E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
E5 D G C5
I still love the light on baby .. etc
Then Russell on bass and Chris on lead come in. Tom plays this chord pattern 4
times again, with Chris playing this at the last bar the first and third times
(listen to it if you're confused :P):

VERSE/REFRAIN [1:32]
_____________________________________________________________________________
Live they play this slightly differently, and I can't really hear Tom's guitar (at
all) so... if you like, play the E in the chorus. If you think Tom plays something
and you know what it is.. please tell :).
Chris
e|-#12#--------|-#12-12#-----|-#14#----#17-|-#19#--------|
B|-#12#--------|-#14/15#-----|-#17#----#17-|-#19#--------|
G|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
D|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
(massive echo all the time)
_____________________________________________________________________________
BREAK [1:45]
_____________________________________________________________________________
Tom (all the way through the break)
e|-------------|
B|----5--------|
G|----4--------|
D|----2--------| strummed a few times on its own first.
A|----2--------|
E|-------------|
Then Chris comes in
[1:47]
Chris
e|-12----------|-12--12------|
B|-12----------|-12--12------|
G|-------------|-------------| x4
D|-------------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
(keep with the echo)
_____________________________________________________________________________
CHORUS [2:01]
_____________________________________________________________________________
Same as the first and second choruses the first time. Then Tom carries on and
Chris goes up an octave, so it's instead:
Chris
e|-15----14----|-15----12----|
B|-------------|-------------|
G|-------------|-------------|
D|-------------|-------------| x8 (over Tom's chords)
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|

I still love the light on baby
It keeps me awake but I don't mind

I've got a million things to
