This is probably the most psychedelic Tumbleweed song I can think of.  
It's a little different to most of the other songs and has this sort  
of great mellow sound to it. The first riff is played eight times really  
slow - two times for every line Richie sings. It's easy to pick up the  
speed when listening to the song. 
 
riff 1 {x8} 
|----------------------------------------------------------------|  
|----------------------------------------------------------------| 
|----------------------------------------------------------------| 
|----------------------------------------------------------------| 
|--------6---------7--6---------------5------7---5---4-----------| 
|-----7-----7---5--------7---------4-----4---------------5-------| 
 
Then when Richie starts singing 'The children.....' play this: 
 
riff 2 (x2) 
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|-----0------0-----------0h2p0-----------0-------0-------------0-2-0---| 
|----2-----0----2--2-2----------2-0----2-------0-----2-2-2-2---------2-| 
|--3-----2---------------------------3-------2-------------------------| 
 
After this the guitarist (Lenny or Dave but no doubt it's Lenny) goes  
back to riff 1 which is played through 4 times. Again it's twice for  
every line that Richie sings. 
Then Richie starts singing 'The  
children.....' again and the guitarist goes back to riff 2 played twice. 
 
After this the song moves into the following chords 
 
|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
|-----7--------4-----------------1--------7-----------------6-------| 
|-----7--------4--------4--------2--------7--------7--------6-------| 
|-----5--------2--------4--------2--------5--------7--------4-------| 
|-----5--------2--------2--------0--------5--------5--------4-------| 
 
I'm not sure how many times it goes through and at some point it gets a  
little heavier. Just listen to the song to figure out the strumming as  
it's real easy. The fourth chord is played a little longer than the three  
before it and the last chord is played for a lot longer than all the other  
chords. 
 
Meanwhile 
alone with no one to see him shine 
meanwhile the worlds going on outside 
around the bend is another climb 
meanwhile he's out in the mists of time 
the children play they light his day 
he'll make it home 
meanwhile knowing tomorrow's unknown 
inside and trying to understand 
the earth is his gypsy caravan 
he never plays the game 
\"it's insane\" he said 
he sits out in the rain awaiting change instead 
meanwhile in a trance
