NOTE: use a capo on the 2nd fret, this is essential

The following two staffs are repeated as the intro.  The chords are "swelled" 
in and out with a volume pedal.

"I was walkin' in the park ...... dreamin' of a spark........when I heard the

 - On the the the p.o. or the h.o. in the end, there might be a little tremolo bar. 
 - Notes on the [] are played only the 2nd and 4th time you play guitar one.
 Guitar 1 ends like this:

Play this thing twice and then, Guitar 2 enters. Anyway, guitar one keeps playing, two
more times (you play it 4 times).

*: There are 2 ways of playing this thing: The first is the tapping (9t13t16) on the
G string... Use it if the guitar that you are using has the capo on the 2nd fret (used
on the verse). But, if it's free of capos, play it like Steve Plays it (you can see him
in Lavender's video), on the first string, the higher "e" string:

---0h4h7h0h4h7h0h4h7...

or:

---0t4t7t0t4t7..., if you find it more comfortable.

When Steve Rothery plays this song live, he plays the "guitar 1" thing twice
but then he plays "guitar 2". And to solve the capo problem, he uses a double
neck guitar.  
The solo has overdrive, but it's very light (ok, not sooo light).
