followed by the main riff x2
Verse 2 follows the same pattern (main riff x4) but then changes
at the Em to something similar to this, its not right but it fits in well

The song then goes into the bridge:
The notes of the chords below are picked but I haven’t worked
these patterns out yet, (apart from a pull off from an Asus4 on the A/G)
the chords still sound good when strummed
D D/C# D/B D/A
Close your brown eyes and
G G/F# Em Em7
lay down next to me Close your
A A/G A/F# A/E
eyes, lay down
D (strum once)
Cos there goes the fear?.
A (strum bass notes as song builds up to chorus)
Let it go
Chorus:
the chord progression is – Em G D A
(the Em also sounds good as an Em7:022033)
That’s all I have so far, its not spot on but it’s a start!
