NB: For the progression of chords in the main part of song and "Dylanish bit"
  as I call it to sound right, you should use the chord fingerings described
  at the end, especially Em7, Cmaj7 and Amsus2.

Notes:
~~~~~~
   1. The chords with dots after them are only played briefly as they are
	transitional chords.

   2. If you don't know what I mean by the "Arabian" or "Dylanish" bits,
	just play along to the album and find out which bits match which
	chords. The rhythm with which the chord changes and vocals fit
	together needs to be learnt by listening to the song (which is on
	the album "The Name Above The Title" in case you didn't know), and
	the strumming rhythm, too, which is pretty consistent throughout.

   3. You should soon get used to the main chord progression (as in the
	"Dylanish bit") and it will become second nature.  What a fabulous
	harmonic progression it is! You can spot a progression of notes
	within the chords which matches the bassline (G F# E D C B A D G).

   4. The chord shapes below are the ones I'd recommend.  The Em7, Cmaj7
	and Amsus2 chords should be fingered the same as the normal chord
	of the same key except that the appropriate finger should be
	removed.

   5. Finally, the FADE OUT! Unless you're recording it, you can't fade
	out, so either leave off the whole thing or do it (or something
	similar) and improvise an ending.  You should have the feel of the
	song well enough by then to improvise something, but I wish I could
	fade myself out gradually - that rhythm and chord progression just
	seem to want to continue for ever, and to interupt the inexorable
	flow just doesn't seem quite right. (It's so good I even come up
	with long words for it).
