E|-2-/4-4------------------------4-4------------------------| Verse: Just about every note/chord follows the melody in this section (apart from the lead-in bit from the main riff), so just play each note as each word is sung: "Words are floating through the windows and in the house, she blows them away" e|--------------------------------------------------------------2------|

The outro consists of a quiet wah guitar solo with delay, with the bass and drums
providing rhythm. Since the solo is more of an ambient/textural/soundscape type of thing,
I won't tab it out, but if you play a solo in either the F# major scale or the B major scale
(or switch back and forth between them - there's only one note difference between the two
and they're both used in the song), it will sound good. There's a lot of room for
improvisation here. Have fun with it.
