 The frets and third times through, the riff goes to the 'G', whilst the
 second and third times, it slides up to the 'D' bit.
 An example (using the bass notes to deliniate the changes):
 Do you know  Where you're going
 Do you know  where you've been
 Is it simple?  Is it simple
 The chances  seem so slim
 Etcetera... (pardon, but I can't remember the lyrics. I apologise for
 any lyrical bollocksings up). Now, the chorus:
 The chords are (yes, dearies, real chords for the chorus!):
 
||e---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---|---O---||
||b---1---|---O---|---O---|---3---|---3---||

||d---3---|---2---|---2---|---2---|---O---||
||a---3---|---2---|---2---|---3---|---O---||
||E---X---|---O---|---O---|---X---|---X---||
 So, here's how it works:
--
 Iiiiiiiiiii'm Left behind

 Left behind, left behind It's a matter of time
  --
 Your protection from injection My projection
 Ejected  from the slide Ejected  from the slide

The frets and third times through, the riff goes to the 'G', whilst the
second and third times, it slides up to the 'D' bit.

An example (using the bass notes to deliniate the changes):

[A/E]        Do you [C]know     Where you're [B]going

Do you [G]know where you've been

[A/E]        Is it [C]simple?   Is it [B]simple

The [D]chances seem so slim

Etcetera...  (pardon, but I can't remember the lyrics.  I apologise for
any lyrical bollocksings up).  Now, the chorus:

The chords are (yes, dearies, real chords for the chorus!):

    [Fmaj7]    [Em]      [Emaj]    [C9]     [Dsus2]

||a---3---|---2---|---2---|---3---|---O---||
||E---X---|---O---|---O---|---X---|---X---||

So, here's how it works:

[Fmaj7]                                 [Em]                        [Em]-[h]-[Emaj]

Iiiiiiiiiii'm                         Left behind

[Fmaj7]                                  [Em]                       [Em]-[h]-[Emaj]

Left behind, left behind        It's a matter of time

        [Fmaj7]                          [Em]                       [Em]-[h]-[Emaj]
