Intro: 

Bit of a tricky son of a bitch is this song as it’s in 7/8 time I believe, 
which in this song anyway means alternating bars of 4/4 and 3 /4 . 
To get the feel right, just sing along with the track:‘1 2 3 4, 1 2 3’ until 
you’re in time, then translate it into your strumming. Maybe this is obvious 
but it took me a while to get it right.

	So the main progression is :

Bar count 1 2 3 4  1 2 3  1 2 3 4   1 2 3 
          Em7      G      Cadd9     Cadd9

The chords being as follows : Em7   = 022033
                              G     = 320033
                              Cadd9 = X32033

For the bass you could either follow the root notes and/or play one of 
John’s best basslines :

  Em7     G     Cadd9
G------------------------------|
D-2-----------0----------------|
A---2-------2---3-23-23-23-235-|
E-----0-0-3--------------------|

Once you get the hang of it, it may be more authentic to play it all on 
the low E string to get the right feel of sliding into all the notes like 
it sounds on the record.

Anyway you play the Em7, G, Cadd9 progression 4 times as an intro before 
the vocals.

Verse:
 
Same Em7, G, Cadd9 progression 8 times as per the intro over these lyrics :

Em7		 G			Cadd9
so what         YOU make me            hard                            
if i was        harder now i would     crack into a million things
things i        didn't really need
things i        didn't really need     but how i wanted so  
what a          nice                   dream    			       
didn't want to   wake up               so i kept it dark all the time
dark enough      so not to             see                                  
but not as dark  as the plans          that YOU have for me

Bridge:

Basically a bit of a jam on the G chord. I play it by alternating 
between a G and a G5 chord :

G  - 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
G5 - 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
G  - 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
G5 - 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 
	
	i.e. G = 320033 and G5 = 3X0033

Verse: 

Same Em7, G, Cadd9 progression 8 times as per the intro over these lyrics :

Em7			G		Cadd9
so what               YOU made me      smile                     
i had smiled at       lesser things    before i ever thought of YOU
before i thought      my soul was      mine             
now i think           about me only    when i can find the time

Bridge: 

As before

Chorus: 

Remembering to keep up the time changes for each chord as before it’s :

F= 133211		Em=022000	
flowers               all around                    
put your lover        in the ground 
flowers               everywhere

G			G= 355433 (to make it a little easier) 
yeah yeah              yeah

F			Em
nowhere               YOU can be found    
i have put            YOU in the ground        
nowhere is            everywhere

Em			Em
Em			Em
for YOU 
my flower
Em			Em

Solo: 

Sorry folks, no solo transcription as I’m nowhere near Rick’s league, but 
if you fancy having a go it’ll be in Em (E F# G A B C D I think) over 8 lots 
of the Em G Cadd9 progression.

Verse: 

Same Em7, G, Cadd9 progression 4 times as per the intro over these lyrics, 
except a little quieter (turn yer distortion off if applicable!) :

Em7		  G			 Cadd9
better get       myself a               drink                              
better get a     couple so i can look   YOU straight in the face
tell YOU that i  think of               YOU                      
almost as        much as                YOU think of YOU

Bridge:  

Just one 7/8 run through of the G chord this time (distortion back on 
electric people!)

Chorus: 

Pretty much as before with an extra riff that I haven’t yet worked out, 
playing the chorus progression to fade out with some more top notch soloing
from Rick. If you work this out please post it!
