This is the song tabbed out until 1:48 but it is basically this same

variations on those riffs in between the main verse parts.

Lyrics:
Tell me where you're goin or
What is going wrong
I felt you leavin' before
You'd even gone
And hold me now
Or never ever hold me again
No more talk
Can take me from this pain I'm in
-
See the moonlight shinning on
Your window pane
See it leave you as
Faithful as it came
Please yourself so you
Don't have to be afraid
Make amends
Or carry on another way
-
Tell me what you were thinkin
To treat somebody so
The care he took the
Lengths to which he'd go
Coals are hot to walk
Across without your shoes
But in the end
Know that you've got nothin to lose
