Verse 2 is played the same as verse 1 except it�s a little bit shorter
 And it starts as soon as glen starts singing again� The 2nd chorus is also the same....

After that comes the build up

Build Up:

Guitar: G
G|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

You can play this on the fifth fret of the D string also� but I recommend the open 
because the build up gets steadily louder( hence build up :D) giving you a free hand for 
adjustment

Loud part (Distortion):

Guitar:                 G

G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| X2
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

*note that that G is 4 bars long unlike everything else in the song which is 2 bars

The song continues from ther with

Guitar:                    E minor

G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2|

2 bars of G
2 bars of E
2 bars of G etc etc
Until glen sings Santa Maria�

G|----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3|

The Santa Maria bit is done twice until the keyboard comes in(I think its keyboard� 
it is.. its clearly audible over everthing else)

At this point it goes into the verse and plays the verse until the end�..

Song Structure:

Build Up
Loud Part
Santa Maria Bit
Verse(this is the still the loud bit in the song, but it�s the same bass as the verse):D


This isn�t the first song I have tabbed but it�s the first one I have submitted to UG� 
an easy song to play� relaxing at the start and full of power and energy at the end..
