Play these chords very loosely, hitting open strings often. This
is just an example. Anything you play with those chords will sound good.

Well, thats it. There are a lot of free flowing guitar riffs guitarist
Nigel Pulsford plays while Gavin plays the Verse riff. They're basically
notes around the E5 and C5 chords and shouldn't be hard to figure out.
I particularly like this song because all the cool parts are done with
a guitar instead of a violin and cello as they are on most of the songs.
