| a picture of your fantasy - a victim of your misery |

| NOTE: I have recognised the chords above with a PIANO, and not a guitar, so |
| it's impossible for me to find out the exact notes that the great Paul plays |
| during the short guitar solos. I'm sorry but you will have to do it by |
| yourself !!! |
