This is the most of it. The other tab was good but wasn�t finished and was a little bit 
to play so I�ve simplified for all. You�ll have to listen to the song to get the timing 
but these are all the notes. The chorus is a little iffy but it still sounds very close to the recording.

Part 1: This is the nice soft bit where all is calm and it�s just Bernard and the guitar.

Lyrics: 1.Ride out the storm, take on the wave, don�t run, run, run
          The winds gonna blow and the ground�s gonna shake then it�s gone, gone, gone
        2.Try not to mourn, shake off the pain don�t run, run, run
          The world�s gonna spin and the earth�s gonna quake then it�s done, done, done

Lyrics: If I ask you tenderly will you follow me down to the river
        I�ll let you down I�ll break your wings
        If you follow me down to the river


Note: All of this is played twice through. After the chorus the end bit of the chorus is 
through about six times and then it goes into part 2.


Part 2: This is the bit where he gets nice and loud and everyone joins in. I think he
        uses distortion, phaser and tremolo as effects for this part so if you got those
        give �em a whirl and see if you can get it right. Remember: The forward slash
        between the chords at the top of the tab is a slide from chord to chord.

Lyrics: I�ve got it all, all ahead of me now
        A pattern�s gonna form and the wind�s gonna blow me down

Well that�s it. After part 2 it goes back to part 1 with the band playing this time the 
verse is used for the lyrics and it fades out with the end of the chorus. This is an 
song from a great album. If you haven�t got it it�s worth getting.
