This is how I play Six Bells Chime from the legendary Room of Lights album. (Otherwise
known as the Wings of Desire song). This song follows a basic blues progression.
Chords:  Em|  Asus2| B7  
Em
Riff:     e-------------|
          B-------------|
          G-------------|
          D--------2----|
          A------2------|
          E-0--3--------|
After Riff, play Asus2
Play Riff, then back to Em
Play Riff, then play Asus2
Play Riff, Em
Repeat this up until after "Six Bells, they chime…" Play B7
This next part I am unsure of, but it is a pentatonic-minor scale. (I assume Em)
Play Em chord.
"You will sleep sound…"
B7, then arrpegiate the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st strings.
Play Em chord.
"You're seventeen…"
B7.
"You're seventeen at this time…"
Repeat Riff, Em, Asus2 (after Asus2, you will play the high E string: e--0-2-0-----)
You repeat all over again.
To get Rowland's sound, crank your reverb and use your tremolo. I play this song with my
guitar's bridge pickup, Alexander Hacke also played this song with his guitar in the
bridge pickup. It was a tele style guitar with a hum bucker in the bridge, and mine is a 
LP-style guitar with dual hum buckers. It might not  make a difference for you, but it does
to me.
