NOTE on Solo: 2 things about this. 1st, it is my interpretation, so the fingerings might be different than Derek's, but it sounds the exact same, i checked several times. 2nd, i play solo guitar, so i have added come chord inversions where usually cliff would play, to fill it out. so sometimes there is _more_ here than on the CD. as always, mail me if you are lost. Verse 2: (Same as Verse 1) -------- Like the April Showers on the slick cement And the roads once straight have now become so bent Weaving through the trees of vain security Rounding round the hard rocks of hard morality Cadd9 G D (This time the Cadd9 G after verse is played only once) Chorus (See above) (Intro Lick is played ONCE) Bridge: ------- Em Am7 And the sacred cows Em Am7 Feed on the green Em Am7 While the least of these Em D Barre-D (10th fret) Are dying on the streets And they're crying...
