NB: For the progression of chords in the main part of song and "Dylanish bit"
as I call it to sound right, you should use the chord fingerings described
at the end, especially Em7, Cmaj7 and Amsus2.
Intro
"Arabian bit"
Em D Em D Em D Em D and immediately move on to...
"Dylanish bit"

Main part:

DO DOmaj7 LAm REWhen everything appears as the drag that it is,

Open it up - think of your dad.
RE DO REWhen you're feeling empty, and the echoes round this cold white room
RE7Have no identity,

When it's time to pack your bags,
Save a little room for me.

G D Em Em7 C Cmaj7 Am... (go on to next D)
RE SOL RE MIm MIm7When it's time to buy a home,
DO DOmaj7 LAm REWhen you're sick of using a different 'phone every day,
Settle up your debts, then settle down,
Take that suitcase back to the "lost and found".
RE DOWhen you're feeling lonely, I guarantee the neighbourhood
C -> D D7
Community will rally round you - wait and see,

Tie up the loose strings that are in your head,
RE DOWhen you're feeling empty, dreams will fill you up
RE RE7In the big sweet city.

Notes:
1. The chords with dots after them are only played briefly as they are
transitional chords.
2. If you don't know what I mean by the "Arabian" or "Dylanish" bits,
just play along to the album and find out which bits match which
chords. The rhythm with which the chord changes and vocals fit
together needs to be learnt by listening to the song (which is on
the album "The Name Above The Title" in case you didn't know), and
the strumming rhythm, too, which is pretty consistent throughout.
3. You should soon get used to the main chord progression (as in the
"Dylanish bit") and it will become second nature. What a fabulous
harmonic progression it is! You can spot a progression of notes
within the chords which matches the bassline (G F# E D C B A D G).
4. The chord shapes below are the ones I'd recommend. The Em7, Cmaj7
and Amsus2 chords should be fingered the same as the normal chord
of the same key except that the appropriate finger should be
removed.
5. Finally, the FADE OUT! Unless you're recording it, you can't fade
out, so either leave off the whole thing or do it (or something
similar) and improvise an ending. You should have the feel of the
song well enough by then to improvise something, but I wish I could
fade myself out gradually - that rhythm and chord progression just
seem to want to continue for ever, and to interupt the inexorable
flow just doesn't seem quite right. (It's so good I even come up
with long words for it).
