INTRO

The intro/verse is shaped by this riff in that amazingly weird and wonderful
7/4 Steven and Gavin have created:

E|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|-------------------0--------|
D|-----0----0------0---0--1-0-|
A|---0-----3-----1------1-----|
D|0------03---1---------------|


CHORUS

Chorus is a loop of Dsus9, Dm7+E, C+G, Bb6add9.

        EADGBe
Dsus9   xx0230
Dm7+E   xx0560
C+G     x32013
Bb6add9 x10011

Dsus9      Dm7+E
One of the wonders of the world is going

C+G             Bb6add9
down, it's going down I know

etc.


SOLO 

The only bit differing to that is the guitar solo which is similar timing
to the 7/4 verse, but:

The intro (just gtr on its own) is 2 repeats of:

E|-------------------3--10----|
B|-----3----3------3---3--3---|
G|---2-----2-----0----------0-|
D|0------03-------------------|
A|------------3---------------|
D|----------------------------|

...then the main solo loop (with all instruments in) is loops of:

E|-------------------3--10----|-------------------3--10----|
B|-----3----3------3---3--3---|-----------------3---3--3---|
G|---2-----2-----0----------0-|-----0----0----3----------0-|
D|0------03-------------------|---0-----0------------------|
A|------------3---------------|------------1---------------|
D|----------------------------|5------5--------------------|

...then back to the chorus, etc.
