ahjajahahja hajhajhahaahj (i think) :)

after you did that you just strum those same cords a couple of times

it goes something like this (guitar 2)

figure 1

e: -------------------------------------------------------------------
B: -------------------------------------------------------------------
G: -------------------------------------------------------------------
D: --11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x---

E: --5---5---x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x-x---

these rakes may be a little of so you'll have to listen

to the record for the exact timing (it's easy though)

okay you play this part 2 times

the second time this riff gets played VARIATON 1(guitar 1) is played over it

Figure 2

E: --x-x--9-----------------------x-x-x-x-(5)-------------------

Breath in breath out (2x) .. Breath in.......tied to a wheel

Okay from here it's just the C#5 A5 cord (Figure 1) for the verse

here's the lyrics

-tied to a wheel fingers got to feel

-feeling to a tolocate smile

-i spin on a whim i slide to the right

-i felt you like electric light

-for our love

(riff 1 starts here and get's played three times)

-for our rise against the years and years and years

Okay some change here
