provided two ways of transcribing the main riff,the first is the riff played by the keyboards and the bass(for acoustic guitar players) and the second is thelittle backgroundriff as played by Hugh.The underlying chord is Bm (although Hugh's part has a major 3rd init which makes it sound slightly discordant).JJ/Dave's riff: Hugh's riff:E------------------------------| E--7-7--7-7--7-7------|
