The the words start and you play riff A

but to get a sense of timing heres an example

B G D

I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves

Second verse if the same as the first only a bit sped up.

Then you got the CHORUS( I powerchord it it sounds right that way)

C B Bb C D

And the winds Crashing round and the sand slips out to sea

C B E F# G A B

And the winds that blow remind me of what has been... and what can never be

Then it goes back to riff A For the interlude and then the next verse

Then you do the chorus again and then you play the intro riff a bunch of times for the last

verse

Then you got the chorus one more time and then riff A to finish off the song

Thats A lighthouses tale in a nut shell, Its not as complicated as it seems just listen

to the recording, It will

all fall into place, and there are a few spots that the fingerpicking is different, but

I don't think it will

make that much of a difference
