(from here you should be able to ad in your own notes to doyle's words)
All I had..
To show me the way..
Was the sound of music..
From the street every day..
Chorus:
C# B B A
Too many people..
C# B B A
Not enough shelter..
C# B B A
The poor getting weaker..
C# B B A
The rich getting stronger..
C# B B A
I've seen everything..
C# B B A
I needed to see...
C# B B A
I got my mind made up..
C# B B A
To give it all away..
Verse:
Workin' man..
Way down south..
Bet any moment back at the house..
All that love..
Couldn't hold back..
Cause bells were ringing..
The sky turned black..
Solo:
the prelude is a bunch of licks that are just varied versions
of the intro riff.
then play the hell out of these notes.

if anyone can figure out the rest of this,
I'd be not only grateful, but amazed.
