Riff 2:

To me, it sounds like riff 2 is part of the bass line, but for playing solo acoustic, it

pretty good to add it in.

Chorus:

C C/B Am

When you close your eyes

G D/F#

Do you like what you see?

F

Inside your mind

C C/B Am

And do you like to dream

G D/F#

About the stars above

F

Once in a while?

Play (Riff 1) x2

over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#

Verse 1:

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

Don't go to the otherside

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

For nothin' at all

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

And it'll make it worth your while

Am G D/F# (No Riff 2)

Gonna break down that wall

F(single upstroke strum, let ring out)

Gonna take the fall

CHORUS

(with acoustic and doubling distorted electrics)

Play:

(Riff 1) x2

over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

Don't go to the other side

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

You might mess up that hair

Am G D/F# (Riff 2)

Just wait you might change your mind

Am G D/F# (No Riff 2)

To think that people might care

F

About your hair anyway

CHORUS

(with acoustic and doubling electric guitars)

Play:

(Riff 1 and Solo) x4

over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#

[Since I'm not one for doing exactly the same solo, I'd just pull out a slide and go

in A Blues or something. Whatever floats your boat. He does use a slide though, for just

every solo/interlude in the song.]

Bridge:

The chords here are strummed once, and where the chord is in parenthesis, it is implied,

it's not actually played, but it's tonality is there.

Am D/F#

Don't go to the other side

Am (D/F#)

Just get down on your knees

(Am) (D/F#)

And show me what you are made of

(Am) (D/F#)

I'm begging you please

F

Just please go away

CHORUS x2 (second time to end with some solo guitar work in A)

C C/B Am G

Don't go to the other side

(G) D/F#

Once in a while

F

Once in a while

C C/B Am G

Don't go to the other side

(G) D/F#

Once in a while

F(let ring out to end)

Onnnnnnnnnnce in a while
