Verse Bit

I am not actually how BDB is actually playing it, but he may be doing a similar
picking pattern to the main intro bit, with alternating bass notes for the chords.


So we've restored harmony
                          
Smoothed the lines on the face

Of an old enemy
                                   
But there's no wood on the fire again
                
We can meet any place
                     
You know where I know when
   
To go......

                             
Skip like a Stone on the Water
                               
Fall with no trace to lie permanently


Next verse is the same, but I dont know the words so it would be wrong
of me to defile the great man's work
