Closing: B A G F# G A B A G F# G B (Transcription by Marck Bailey) Don't Dream It's Over (N. Finn) NOTES: -- Neil's guitar is tuned down one half-step for this song. If you're going to try and play along, you'll have to do the same. -- For all you bar chord haters, this is one song you won't like. Every chord is a bar chord. of course, you don't -have- to play it that way. the first chord is on the 7th fret, second is on the 4th, etc. if you are having any difficulties with these chords, contact me (marck@nwu.edu).

Finn/ E. Rayner) NOTES: -- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987), you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.) -- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed live). INTRO: Keyboard doodling around Em

Finn) NOTES: -- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam- ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works. -- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti- fully. INTRO: B7* Em* B7 Em B7 Em
