 > If you see a * after a chord name, then just strum it once!
 The strumming pattern is more or less like this for the first guitar, guitar 2
 can sort of pick the same chords, erm, 'pensively' or something, as well. Make
 sure one guitar emphasizes the bass notes!

I  walked around for hours, two  ten pence pieces in my
hand.....................I  was alone and freezing,
still  trying hard to understand  you................
I  left the others knowing I  had to work this by my-
self.....................But  now the feeling's growing,
I  would be better off with their help.................
 So baby,  what we've got.....has lately,...............
 not been enough.........not  been enough...............
 > (Violin Part) just keep plodding on with Amaj7 to B6 etc.
I  wish I had your scarf still, that  once embraced,
 and kept me warm.................................
I  wish you could be with me, in  these last days
 when I am still...............hopelessly poor......
