(Outro)
Gm Dm C Dm
Gm Dm C Dm (repeat to fade)
- Most of the chords (especially the Eb and Bb) are power chords (except
the A7 and D7), some of the less common chords maybe a little out due to
the song being played on piano and tabbed for guitar, but I did the best
I could given that I don't yet have a piano. These chords should work on
piano, although some adjustment might be necessary.
- There is a space on the first line that Roger takes the lead on, the
phrase that precedes 'point of view', because there are several
conflicting lines on the internet and I don't have the CD lyrics to hand,
so I left it blank. All other lines are almost definitely accurate, any
that aren't right are likely mistakes on my part.
Great song, one of my favourites by Supertramp, enjoy.
