The chords in the main riff are correct as I saw Stephen play this live. It's easy to
play. Just start with the G shape and move your index and middle fingers only. Listen
to the CD to get the rhythm. The only departures from the main riff are the raked chords
at the end of verses 2 and 3 and the outro where the lyrics are aligned diffrently with
the riff.
