Piano

Intro
(Hold chord)

I think this is right,|          but this way is easier on guitar
easy on piano    |          and is only missing 1 note.

Riff 4?????
"If only I could..."

I'm not sure if the piano plays during this part of the song.
I can't hear it on the album version. If I find a piano riff
during this part of the song, album or live version, it will be here.

Keyboard
(Strings)
These riffs are tabbed to make it easy to play, and to save me some time. If anyone actually tries to play this on a keyboard it is best to play all the "String" riffs on 2 octaves simultaneously.
