(question and answer section)


<..theres now an outro bit where there's a bass solo, the rest of the instruments
(especially the keyboards) jam on the two chord riff of the verses (F and G) and the
guitar plays a little riff (not 100% sure about this one, though)..>

  F        G
E--------------|

G--------------|
D--------------|

E-1--1-1-1-3---|

<..after JJ has done his little bass solo, he plays a one note riff (which is just G),
 over which Hugh plays the following..>

E-------------------|
B-------------------|
G-------------------|
D-------------------| <- this is repeated a number of times before he follows the
A--------------2--1-|    bassline

Song ends on a keyboard chord of G, which gets slowed down to exactly an octave
lower.
