CHORUS 3 - This is exactly the same as both "CHORUS 1" and "2," simply longer, with vocal improv drifting over the repeated chorus. Simply play the progression of the earlier over and over again until the song fades out. NOTE: Daryl Hall's solo work is definately underrated - this song is is proof of that!! free to replace the "G5" in the line "Nothing waiting for me but a lonely room" (see with an "Em" if it sounds better. If the either the rhythm or timing of the chords doesn't make sense, just listen to the song - it should be pretty self-explanatory.
