During Intro and straight after the piano interlude to the song Chris plays something like this live (not CD version I don't think) Could be very wrong though.

Sorry about the length of the tab but it's unavoidable as you can't cut down a song of this quality to it's basics. I Would be happy to hear of any significant corrections, otherwise please rate generously!
