Standard Tuning
The opening riff of the song acts as the main riff throughout all verses and choruses.
song is quite simple due to this constant beat. I'm just posting up the chord pattern,
need to listen to the song to get the timing and strumming pattern right.

3.and when you think back on those times it seems so close just beyond your reach
4.but the past vanishes like smoke from a cigarette in the night breeze
Then that riff stays when the chorus starts.

2nd time this is played, hold the last D major chord. Add a little tremolo.
Go straight into the 2nd verse, played exactly like the first, then play the chorus
the same way, then go into the solo.
2nd verse:
1. how is it that things turn out this way, what you hold most dear has come and gone
2. since a time that everything was right, and now it just feels wrong, oh so wrong
3. and you still dreaming of a time, when the day will come, that was meant to be
4. and your still dreaming of a way, to reach that place, that you've never been

Go back and repeat the chorus twice, and end the song on the same chord you start it on.
should be pretty easy to figure out if you know the song well.
