I can't remember exactly where in 
the lyrics the changes are but once
you listen to the song you'll know 
where they are & where changes  #1 
and #2 go.
Be patient with my instructions, 
this is my first posting.  
Recommendation: use a light pick to 
get that
guitar attack.  Cheers to everyone 
else who has posted tabs. Much 
appreciated. I'm waiting
for help with the rest of the songs 
off this double album masterpiece.  
Especially 'To forgive' & 
'Jellybelly'.
