                                           *


Tune guitar to open D

From low to high : DADF#AD


Please note that the strumming pattern is only approximate. The shapes
are the main thing - I've indicated roughly how many times each is
strummed but this isn't 100% accurate.

The same with the words - the changes should match up fairly well with
the words but listen to the record to get the detail.

/ means slide

 Some are friendly, some are cutting, some are watching it from the wings

D---------------------------------------------------------------------|

  Some are standing in the centre giving to get something


The rest follows almost exactly the same pattern - the only real
difference is at the end with the lines 'laughing it all away' :


D---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0----|
A---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0----|
F#--1-------1---0-----0--0-------1----1--1--------1/3-3-3-3-1-0--1----|
D---2-------2---9-----9--9-------2----2--2--------2/4-4-4-4-2-0--2----|
A---0-------0---9-----9--9-------2----2--2-----------------------0----|
D---------------9-----9--9-------2----2--2----------------------------|


This repeats three times (I think) then it goes :


D----5-----------3---0-----------|
A----5-----------3---0-----------|
F#---5-----------3---0-----------|
D----5-----------3---0-----------|
A----5-----------3---0-----------|
D----5-----------3---0-----------|

  Laughing  it  all    away

That's all !

Enjoy
