Intro/Verses:

	G, D, A

"It's a breeze..." bit:

	G A G A G A D A

"Well this might take a while..." bit:

	Bm, G, D, A


Things to try:
	Intro/Verse:

	To replicate the bass/violin contribution on solo acoustic,
	try this:

	Over the G (and try palm muting the E string notes) - 

	e-
	B-
	G-
	D-
	A-------5-4---4-5-4-5
	E-0-2-3-----3--------

	      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^	
	      Repeat a few times (ie, play E-0-2- bit once only)

	Then over the D, A change:

	
	e-
	B-
	G-
	D---7------7-
	A-5---5--4---4
	E-

	"It's a breeze" bit, try playing full chords for the G and A
	and play the A as:

	e-0
	B-3
	G-2
	D-2
	A-0
	E-x

	For the spacey bit in the middle just pedal on G and pick
	some strings.

	G         A            G
	Your will changes everyday
		   A                 G
	it's a road you've come upon
			A                D    A     G
	I can't help you if you want to
	G         A              G
	Down here nothing gets a chance
			A                  G
	It's a threat that's real enough
		   A                   D     A
	We can burn this bridge or stay here
		   G     A              G     A
	It's a breeze everlasting like time
					 G
	Making so sure that
	A                     D                     A
	I can return just to see it from your side again


	G      A               G
	Always never seems to work
			A              G
	It's a word you never learned
			A            D    A
	I don't really see a way clear
		  G   A              G    A
	It's a sea ever churning in tides
			  G          A
	In the sureness of time
						   D               A
	And our words will repeat now forever again
		Bm                  G              D
	Well this might take a while to figure out
		 A
	So don't you rush it
		  Bm               G                      D
	And hold your head up high right through the doubt
			   A               G   A
	'Cause its just a matter of time
						 G   A
	You've been running so fast
					G    A
	It's the seven day mile
						 D                    A
	Has you torn in-between here and running away
