Note that the chords for the guitar solo were in fact taken from the 
piano solo he plays on the Change Your World Live video; I'm assuming
they're the same!!

Symbols:


|    = crotchet

|.   = dotted crotchet
 _
| |  = quavers
 _
|-|  = semiquavers
 ____
|.  -| = dotted quaver followed by semiquaver

  3
| | |  =  crotchet triplets

Also please note that I am primarily a keyboard player (as is MWS), 
hence the relatively complex chords; some of you less competent 
guitarists may have to make adaptions.

Hope you all have fun.

I'm late for a lecture.... :)
