Lyrics ( w/RhyFig1 ) :
"So there they stood at the top of the stairs
Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared. "
Am B Am B
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw the star
Lyrics ( w/RhyFig1 ) :
"For a second he turned his back
And she was there like a ghost
She pushed him hard and clean
To the bottom of the stairs. "

Solo 2 ( Andy ) :
Nope!!! Too hard!! Besides, it's too fast, and not as cool as the last one,
so, if you really, REALLY want it, e-mail me, and I'll see what I can do.
After the solo ...
Oh no... they found her in the sarcophagus

Lyrics ( w/RhyFig2 ) :
"That's the end of another lullaby
Time has come for me to say Goodnight... "
and with that, we get to THE solo.. one of the most moving, well-done
pieces of music, this solo is easy, but because it's set way back in the
mix, it's kinda hard to capture every nuance of Mike's playing; so,
take this transcription as a guide, and inprovise where you like ( I know
I do :-) )
