Rayner)\r\n\r\nNOTES:\r\n\r\n-- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987),\r\nyou can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that\r\nEddie Rayner is playing.  (The guitar part at that point is just doing\r\nthat damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an\r\nacoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.)\r\n\r\n-- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a\r\nlast-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being\r\nscrapped.)  All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the\r\nguitar just sits on that one chord.  I would suggest creating a guitar\r\nsolo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed\r\nlive).\r\n\r\n\r\nINTRO:  Keyboard doodling around Em\r\n\r\n[tab]                      [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]D[/ch]                [ch]A[/ch]     [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nThere's a hole in the river where my auntie lies[/tab]\r\n[tab]                     [ch]C[/ch]     [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]A[/ch]      [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nFrom the land of the living to the air and sky[/tab]\r\n[tab]                    [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]D[/ch]                 [ch]A[/ch]      [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nLeft her car by the river left her shoes beside[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]C[/ch]     [ch]D[/ch]           [ch]Am[/ch]\r\nThrough the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ...[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]Am/G[/ch]*         [ch]Am/F#[/ch]*\r\nDreaming of glory[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]B[/ch]      [ch]Am[/ch]       [ch]Am/G[/ch]          [ch]Am/F#[/ch]\r\nMiles above the mountains and plains[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]B[/ch]       [ch]Am[/ch]   [ch]Am/G[/ch]   [ch]Am/F#[/ch]\r\nFree at last[/tab]\r\n\r\nWe were touched by a cold wind, my father and I\r\nThe sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all\r\nShe was coming to see him but something changed her mind\r\nDrove her down to the river\r\nThere is no return\r\n\r\n[INSTR.
