[Solo, see below]
Gazing at people, some hand in hand.
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend.
Just what you want to be, you'll be in the end.

=============================================================
I arranged the song in Am using barre chords to match the
original chord centers:
Am: 577555
G: 355433
F: 133211
C: 332010
Bb: x13331 or 688766
While NIWS is generally played with a strum (on solo
guitar) to imitate the original sleepy sound of the Melotron,
the song can be rearranged slightly for a more delicate sound
using arpegiated chords:
Am (barre 5):
E||---------------------------|--|
B||-------5-----------5-------|--|
G||-----5---5-------5---5-----|--|
D||---7-------7---7-------7---|--| etc, etc
A||-------------7-------------|--|
E||-5-------------------------|--|
