Verse Bit

I am not actually how BDB is actually playing it, but he may be doing a similar
picking pattern to the main intro bit, with alternating bass notes for the chords.

Em
So we've restored harmony
                          C
Smoothed the lines on the face

Of an old enemy
               Am          D          Em
But there's no wood on the fire again
                Am
We can meet any place
         D            G
You know where I know when
   B7
To go......

Em          C            G       B7
Skip like a Stone on the Water
Em           C            G        B7
Fall with no trace to lie permanently
