  • No guitar that I can make out, but here are some chords if you want
    to give it a go...
     
  • Bm G Bm
    "Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono, wearing bracelets..."
    A G
  • "Cruel joke, cruel joke..."
     
    KAYLEIGH
  •  
    This has been superbly transcribed by Shane P Faulkner, and is at
    Nevada, so I'm not going to repeat it here.
  •  
    LAVENDER
     
  • This has also been done, again by Shane, and is also at Nevada.

    WHITE FEATHER

    Okay, this has already been done by Dan Newcombe (it's at Nevada),
    but to me it sounds a little different, so I've included my own

    everyone hears it differently! But anyway...

    To me it sounds like Steve plays pretty much the same throughout the
  • song, but replaces some of the fiddly bits with equivalent chords and
    strums them a few times during the verses...?
     
  • Towards the end, there is a bit of a solo based around these notes.
