Verse Bit
I am not actually how BDB is actually playing it, but he may be doing a similar
picking pattern to the main intro bit, with alternating bass notes for the chords.
Em
So we’ve restored harmony
C
Smoothed the lines on the face
Of an old enemy
Am D Em
But there’s no wood on the fire again
Am
We can meet any place
D G
You know where I know when
B7
To go……
Em C G B7
Skip like a Stone on the Water
Em C G B7
Fall with no trace to lie permanently
