Okay here it is, as promised.  Took a little longer than planned but I do have a busy life 
believe it or not.  Anyway this song is great for those who don't have much experience in
finger picking.  Even if you're a finger picking expert it's a great song to play and sing
along to.  It sounds fantastic.

Anyway... this song is made up of three simple parts:

Note: I've neglected to put down the high e and b strings because you don't go near them for
this song.

Part 1
G-------0----------0-------
D---4-------4--4-------4---
A-5---5---5------5---5-----
E--------------------------

Part 2
G-------0----------0-------
D---0-------0--0-------0---
A-2---2---2------2---2-----
E--------------------------

Those two are the main parts of the song.  Basically played one after the other for the
intro and verse.  There are some points in the song where part one is repeated.  Listen to
the recording for these.  This is the final part...

Part 3
G-------0----------0-------
D---0-------0--0-------0---
A-0---0---0------0---0-----
E------------------------3-

And that's it!! After part three you pause for a few seconds and then go back into part one 
again.  It's that simple, and yet it sounds brilliant.

Just to clear things up, here is the order:

part 1                  part 2
I'm gonna leave any minute 
part 1                 part 2
see the skyline disappear
part 1            part 2
Head out of the city 
part 1                     part 2
burn my clothes bury my fears
part 3               (pause)        part 1
Oh you will never know      I was here

That is the basic order of the song.  Like I said part one gets repeated a few times and 
there is a repeat of the part 3, pause, part 1 section at the end of the song.  You finish 
on the last note of part 1.

Et voila!  Any questions email me.
