Intro;
Here's 2 ways to play it;

Version 1;
This is a simple way to play the intro, but Big Country never played it live. They
would just play the chords.

G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Play twice
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Version 2;
Try this with a pitch shift of + 1 octave. It's rather difficult to play but it
makes an interesting noise. A third way to play this, if you have a guitar with
a two octave neck, is to play version 2 an octave higher but without the pitch 
shift. This is even more difficult to play.

Stand up, hold my hand I hope you understand

D          A       D      G      A   D
Here where time is still, I walk the hill

D           A        D  G            A D A A  
Stand here, close to me here for all eternity

D         A      D     G      A   D
I wait as others will, I walk the hill



G                D
I held you then, I held you still

A             D
I held you as I always will

G               D                A          D
You can have my heart to fill as I walk the hill

We only write our names in sand

Guitar solo;

To make this easier to tab and read, I've used the following shorthand;
9 = 9th fret
0 = 10th fret
1 = 11th fret
2 = 12th fret
3 = 13th fret
and so on...

Bm      D           G     A         Bm      D           G      A

G|-------------4-1--9h1-1-----------1---------------4-1--9h1-1-----------1-|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

For this part, the same shorthand applies except 9 = 19th fret;

For this part, the same shorthand apples except;

0 = 20th fret
1 = 21st fret
2 = 22nd fret
