Notes- CAPO ON 3RD. All chords and tabs relative to the capo. Meaning, I am
pretending the capo is the top of the guitar. I recommend finger picking.
Use your thumb for the E, A, and D strings and your index, middle, and ring
finger for the G, B, and e strings. Riff 3 and Solo 3 are incomplete. If
anyone can completely figure them out please e-mail me the tab. One more
thing, throughout the song, The Samples play variations of the following

Song/Lyrics:

-----------

(O'kay, this should be pretty simple. On the left you see what riff to play
while you sing the words on the right.)

Intro

Riff 1: Another starry night is above us
Riff 1: For the last ten million years it's been the same
Riff 2: In a moment's notice
Riff 1: not a stone unturned that someone didn't claim

Riff 2: who am I to know this,
Riff 2: who am I to care

Riff 2: All the streets are sinking
Riff 1: cause the world goes half the speed of what it takes
Riff 2: and the wires from somewhere
Riff 1: sending signals to our homes from outer space

Riff 2: who am I to know this,
Riff 1: who am I to care

Riff 1: From the warmth of being fine
Riff 1: to defending battle lines

Solo 1

Riff 2: in a car on the freeway
Riff 1: broken down from some new form of gasoline
Riff 2: in the door she's waiting
Riff 1: living up to every diamond in that ring

Riff 2: who am I to love you,
Riff 2: who am I to care

Riff 2: who am I to know this.
Riff 1: who am I to care

Solo 2

Riff 3: Another starry night is above us

Riff 1: Another starry night is above us
Riff 1: For the last ten million years it's been the same
Riff 2: in a moment's notice
Riff 1: not a stone unturned that someone didn't claim

Riff 2: who am I to love you,
Riff 2: who am I to care

Riff 2: who am I to know this,
Riff 2: who am I to breath

Riff 1: From the warmth of being fine
Riff 1: to defending battle lines

Solo 3
