Now it's essentially just these 3 chords over and over again... normally adopting this
strum pattern... all quick downstrums by the way and notice the hammering on to create
a sus4 effect... very important that you nail it

Occasionally Tom changes the strumming, plays more notes of the chords 'n' stuff but
listen to the record for that banter...
Light me a smoke, I'll tell you a story of how the West was won
Flew over diamonds, east river shining, a city sinking in the mud
And in a second, a life-long second, I knew what we'd become
We use up people, use up time, use up places say goodbye searching for the crowded hour
Now there's a buzzing in the wires, look for lightening in your eyes and I see it there
