else's submitted tabs. If you find any mistake (i didnt find any after 10 look-throughs) mail
me at dal_roti13@hotmail.com . The lower tab riffs in solo#2 are for the background guitar to

Use this last riff (the lower one only) for the Phone call part and the chorus without music.
I know that this is not right for the chorus but the notes of the piano were too muffled and
were dominated by the vocals. Then play the normal chorus twice and then end with this.
