Breakdown/Buildup thing: (C minor is played over and over again, tempo increases after
second bar, etc. Just listen to it :D you'll get it. There's also some bended notes here,
are just the 6th fret on the B string (or second string) being bent.)
Cmin
Bridge (There's really only bass and electric piano here but if you want, the chords are
the same as any of the verses.):
Cmin A#maj
If you catch us coming
Fmin Cmin
Up about around the bend.
Cmin A#maj
And if we step a little
Fmin Cmin
Higher will we find it then.
Cmin A#maj
There's gotta be something roaming
Fmin Cmin
up about around the bend. (ooooh ooooh)
