(playing hint: use the 3rd finger as a sort of "anchor" to slide up and
down on, swapping your 1st and 2nd fingers behind it)

(these 4 are the "thrashy" bit's chords. The 3 high strings aren't
really played directly, just occasionally inbetween sliding up and down
the bottom 3 strings for the main "tune" (in true Harper style!). This
is where you also bring in a bit of overlaid distortion with chorus and
echo if you have a couple of Quadraverbs handy!)

You ask, what is the qua-li-ty
Of life, seeking to jus-ti-fy the part you play
etc
....an-y more or less than short and sweet
Verse 2 as above ending:
(picked accentuating the bass line)
..in your garden
(this involves a bit of stretching for the G on the low D so you have to
cheat a bit with the notes above - in fact Roy abandons the C altogether
and just steps down on the low D strumming whatever he happens to hit at
the top end)
then intro and back to 2 more verses
then into the trashy bit:
(picked:)
(strummed madly:)
(repeated a number of times)
and then into the intro again to finish.
