The frets and third times through, the riff goes to the 'G', whilst the
second and third times, it slides up to the 'D' bit.
An example (using the bass notes to deliniate the changes):
A/E C B
Do you know Where you're going
G
Do you know where you've been
A/E C B
Is it simple? Is it simple
D
The chances seem so slim

Etcetera... (pardon, but I can't remember the lyrics. I apologise for
any lyrical bollocksings up). Now, the chorus:
The chords are (yes, dearies, real chords for the chorus!):
Fmaj7 Em Emaj C9 Dsus2
||e---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---||
||b---1---|---O---|---O---|---3---|---3---||
||g---2---|---O---|---1---|---O---|---2---||
||d---3---|---2---|---2---|---2---|---O---||
||a---3---|---2---|---2---|---3---|---O---||
||E---X---|---O---|---O---|---X---|---X---||
So, here's how it works:
Fmaj7 Em Em-h-Emaj
Iiiiiiiiiii'm Left behind
Fmaj7 Em Em-h-Emaj
Left behind, left behind It's a matter of time
Fmaj7 Em Em-h-Emaj
Your protection from injection My projection
C9 Dsus2
Ejected from the slide Ejected from the slide
