NB:
*Chords indicated such as Bm/F#, for example, show the
chord to be played, followed by the accompanying bass
note (in this case, a Bm chord with an F# bass note).
These extra bass notes can be omitted if desired, and
the chord can be played on its own. In the case of G/D,
however, it sounds better to play a G chord on it's own;
the added bass note is more relevant if a bass guitar
were playing it.
**Some of the seventh chords may sound a little harsh;
this may be because sometimes the seventh sound is more
implied by the vocals, rather than being strongly played
by the instruments. In these cases, normal major chords
can be played instead, if desired.
***nc indicates that no chord is to be played.
****It is worth comparing the chords for this ending with those
of the ending of the Rutles version of "Shangri-La" (and
hence also with the Beatles' "Hey Jude")!
*****Lyrics indicated in the ending are spoken quietly in the
background.
