============================================================================
This is my first song I've ever tabbed out, so I think I did a pretty good
job, but if there are some mistakes, please email me at timdost@hotmail.com
you can mail me at the same adress for comments and stuff...
Have fun playing!!
( I'm dutch, so my english is not very good, so I hope you can understand it)
In the intro I think Pete uses a capo on the first fred, The chords are
relative to capo. Otherwise play
Fm - C# - As - Es
Intro: Em - C - G - D (2*)
Then Pete plays this,
Hold the first note a very short time and then bend it, listen to the song to get the feel...

The questions in you are the questions in me
And I'm no closer to answers than you are to me
If we just believe then we all can be free
Nanananananananaaaa!
