*************************************************************************

there is an outro solo at the end of the song somewhere around

4 minutes into the song (give or take 20 seconds), i don't have

time to figure it out, however, if you would like to write you own

little solo for it (like i have) the below notes will work just really

good for a solo. If you do it right, it could sound really great.

The notes are in no particular order, just from high to low, work with

it see what happens.

E |---------------------------------------------------------|

B |---------------------------------------------------------|

G |---------------------------------------------------------|

D |------------------0--2--4--6--7--9--11--14--16--18--19---|

p.s. the notes in the parenthesis, i don't use 'em, it sounds

better if you don't but if you want to go ahead

**************************************************************************

lyrics:

-------

well the satelite comes and goes

we give each other all we know

in silence we still walk

by the light of the stereo waltz

and will you rain down

in your cinematic love truck

i want to hold you like nothing's going stop us

she come to take me away

it's all that i needed

i don't breathe another lover

flicker on the t.v. screen

everything's more than it seems

the mighty backward fall

stare at the lights on the wall

i swear to this

she felt like velvet

second blonde child she meant it

she come to take me away

it's all that i needed

i don't breathe another lover

i'm an alien

you're and alien

it's a beautiful rain

beautiful rain

beautiful rain
