Riff 2:
To me, it sounds like riff 2 is part of the bass line, but for playing solo acoustic, it
pretty good to add it in.

Chorus:
C C/B Am
When you close your eyes
G D/F#
Do you like what you see?
F
Inside your mind
C C/B Am
And do you like to dream
G D/F#
About the stars above
F
Once in a while?
Play (Riff 1) x2
over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#
Verse 1:
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Don’t go to the otherside
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
For nothin’ at all
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
And it’ll make it worth your while
Am G D/F# (No Riff 2)
Gonna break down that wall
F(single upstroke strum, let ring out)
Gonna take the fall
CHORUS
(with acoustic and doubling distorted electrics)
Play:
(Riff 1) x2
over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Don’t go to the other side
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
You might mess up that hair
Am G D/F# (Riff 2)
Just wait you might change your mind
Am G D/F# (No Riff 2)
To think that people might care
F
About your hair anyway
CHORUS
(with acoustic and doubling electric guitars)
Play:
(Riff 1 and Solo) x4
over the verse chords of Am, G, D/F#
[Since I’m not one for doing exactly the same solo, I’d just pull out a slide and go
in A Blues or something. Whatever floats your boat. He does use a slide though, for just
every solo/interlude in the song.]
Bridge:
The chords here are strummed once, and where the chord is in parenthesis, it is implied,
it’s not actually played, but it’s tonality is there.
Am D/F#
Don’t go to the other side
Am (D/F#)
Just get down on your knees
(Am) (D/F#)
And show me what you are made of
(Am) (D/F#)
I’m begging you please
F
Just please go away
CHORUS x2 (second time to end with some solo guitar work in A)
C C/B Am G
Don’t go to the other side
(G) D/F#
Once in a while
F
Once in a while
C C/B Am G
Don’t go to the other side
(G) D/F#
Once in a while
F(let ring out to end)
Onnnnnnnnnnce in a while
