Tune guitar to open D
From low to high : DADFAD
Please note that the strumming pattern is only approximate. The shapes
are the main thing - I`ve indicated roughly how many times each is
strummed but this isn`t 100% accurate.
The same with the words - the changes should match up fairly well with
the words but listen to the record to get the detail.
/ means slide

Some are friendly, some are cutting, some are watching it from the wings

Some are standing in the centre giving to get something
The rest follows almost exactly the same pattern - the only real
difference is at the end with the lines `laughing it all away` :
D---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0---
A---0-------0---0-----0--0-------0----0--0--------0---0-0-0-0-0--0---

A---0-------0---9-----9--9-------2----2--2-----------------------0---
D---------------9-----9--9-------2----2--2--------------------------
Laughing it all away - ay - ay - ay-ay-ay
This repeats three times (I think) then it goes :
D----5-----------3---0---------
A----5-----------3---0---------
F---5-----------3---0---------
D----5-----------3---0----------
A----5-----------3---0----------
D----5-----------3---0----------
Laughing it all away
That`s all !
Enjoy
