(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.
