Lead Guitar - I put an extra space between counts for clarity.
----------- Timing should actually be consistent all the way through.

@VERSES - each count = 4 sets
G G G G C Em C D

Appendix
--------

Though the Verse chords I put down is what sounds right as I play and sing along,
I do acknowledge that the bass notes, however, are infact:
G D
There are songs beyond the sky
G D
Missing melodies to find
C B
You got stars inside your eyes
G A
Tiny parts of holy lies
and therefore verse chords can be interpreted and played as:
G D
There are songs beyond the sky
G D
Missing melodies to find
C Em
You got stars inside your eyes
G D
Tiny parts of holy lies
