Now Run to You: (see note on key at the end)

The distinctive riff through the verse is:

||-----------------|-----------------||
||-----------------|-----------------|| with plenty of reverb (and
||-----------------|-----------------|| probably other effects, but
||-----0-----0-----|-----0-----0-----|| I ain't got any, so I don't
||---2-----2---2---|---2-----4---4---|| know what!)
||-0-----0-------0-|-3-----5-------5-||
  
The transition into the chorus is |C|C|D|D| with appropriate strumming
The chorus chords are ||Em  G  D|    A   ||  ""      ""        ""
(this repeats until it finally finishes on the D)

The lead bit in the middle of the song is:

|--7--6-------|-----|-5--4------|-----|-3--2------|
||-------7----|-----|-------5---|-----|-------3---|
||---------6--|-----|---------4-|-----|---------2-|
||------------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|
||------------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|
||------------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|
played through twice.

and the chords after this are the chorus chords (I suspect that this
bit uses a chorus pedal of some sort - but I don't have one, so I 
don't know). 

There is some lead stuff played on top of the riff through the verse,
but it's heavy on effects, so we opted to leave it out. As a clue
I think it involves slow bends on the G and D strings at the 5th or
7th positions.

If you play this along to the CD you will be a tone flat, so either
put a capo on the second fret (and shift all the numbers up 2) or
tune up a tone - if you're playing with a band you don't need to worry.

And that's about if for Run to You.
