Some things make the world seem new,

(Guitars come back in here)

A (x02220@1)      BYour (x2444x@1)voice is such a

F# (244322@1)   F#/E   F# (244322@1)   F#/E   F# (244322@1)   F#/E   F#thing, (244322@1)such a thing, such a thing, such a thing...

[**Note: Alternating F# and F#/E:
    Just do an F# barre chord (don't play the top  2 strings), 
    and alternately lift off your index finger.
    Like this:

F#   F#/E
     |-(2)---(0)---------------|
     |-(2)---(0)---------------|
     |--3-----3----------------|
     |--4-----4----------------|
     |--4-----4----------------|
     |--2-----0----------------|
 
     This alternating theme is heard pretty consistently throughout the song, 
     whenever an F# chord is played.  Listen and you'll hear it.  Back to the
     song...]

(*)  Background fill:
The sitar plays a little background riff during this measure.
