 Notes- CAPO ON 3RD. All chords and tabs relative to the capo. Meaning, I am
 pretending the capo is the top of the guitar. I recommend finger picking.
 Use your thumb for the E, A, and D strings and your index, middle, and ring
 finger for the G, B, and e strings. Riff 3 and Solo 3 are incomplete. If
 anyone can completely figure them out please e-mail me the tab. One more
 thing, throughout the song, The Samples play variations of the following

 Song/Lyrics:

 -----------
 

 
 (O'kay, this should be pretty simple. On the left you see what riff to play
 while you sing the words on the right.)
 
 Intro
 
 Riff 1: Another starry night is above us
 Riff 1: For the last ten million years it's been the same
 Riff 2: In a moment's notice
 Riff 1: not a stone unturned that someone didn't claim
 
 Riff 2: who am I to know this,
 Riff 2: who am I to care
 
 Riff 2: All the streets are sinking
 Riff 1: cause the world goes half the speed of what it takes
 Riff 2: and the wires from somewhere
 Riff 1: sending signals to our homes from outer space
 
 Riff 2: who am I to know this,
 Riff 1: who am I to care
 
 Riff 1: From the warmth of being fine
 Riff 1: to defending battle lines
 
 Solo 1
 
 Riff 2: in a car on the freeway
 Riff 1: broken down from some new form of gasoline
 Riff 2: in the door she's waiting
 Riff 1: living up to every diamond in that ring
 
 Riff 2: who am I to love you,
 Riff 2: who am I to care
 
 Riff 2: who am I to know this.
 Riff 1: who am I to care
 
 Solo 2
 
 Riff 3: Another starry night is above us
 
 Riff 1: Another starry night is above us
 Riff 1: For the last ten million years it's been the same
 Riff 2: in a moment's notice
 Riff 1: not a stone unturned that someone didn't claim
 
 Riff 2: who am I to love you,
 Riff 2: who am I to care
 
 Riff 2: who am I to know this,
 Riff 2: who am I to breath
 
 Riff 1: From the warmth of being fine
 Riff 1: to defending battle lines
 
 Solo 3
