Chords
Based on Pencom's version but I couldn't play to it at all so I adjusted the timing of chords/lyrics and
added the instrumental bit in the middle :)

[VERSE]
F F C F F C Am Know a man... His face pulled and tense... F C F C F C Am Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds F C C F F F C So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax F C G/F F But he's always moving much too fast Am Asus2 Am Said he'll see me on the flipside...
(Repeat 1st intro riff with F chord here, | indicates to match the lyric to the note)
F | | | Am Asus2 Am of this trip he's taken for a ride
[CHORUS]

"I think it's close" but the great thing about this track is
the timing of the vocals. Listening is the best way to get it. Enjoy :)
