CHILDHOODS END?
Need a good bit of delay here, as for Kayleigh. I guess the delay
parameters remain the same for the whole album, it's just switched on
and off as required.
Repeat for intro and verse:
{sot} -11------------------11---------------
----12--14p11----------12---14-11-----{eot}
{sot}Repeat chords for chorus:
(almost the same chords as the Kayleigh chorus!)

-9--------9----7---------11-------9----9-------{eot}
Solo between verses:

WHITE FEATHER
Okay, this has already been done by Dan Newcombe (it's at Nevada),
but to me it sounds a little different, so I've included my own
version. The effects used make it really difficult to hear - I guess
everyone hears it differently! But anyway...
{sot} --------10------10---------------10--8h10p8-7-8--8p7-------------{eot}
song, but replaces some of the fiddly bits with equivalent chords and
strums them a few times during the verses...?
Towards the end, there is a bit of a solo based around these notes.
And that's it!The chord source is shown as supplied because its ChordPro syntax could not be parsed.
