Playing tips

Another wonderful example of revelation brought by my Friend, which is the Guitar. First chord is denoted B/A, however to sound it similar to the one on the album (to which you are referred to, as always) play it like it is shown below. Same applies to the third chord - Em7/A, but I play it simply not using my left arm at all for this specific position. In other words, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings are taken on 4th fret, then same position is on 2nd fret, and the other strings are open. Check for yourself whether this approach works for F and F# as well.

B/A A Once on a time we were sincere;

Em7/A F# F now, we're acting charades,

B/A A hiding behind cracked images

B/A A Look at the cards in your hands:

B/A A I'm tired and don't need you to show me

Same base chord sequence (played by drums'n'bass + piano) is used during long ending through which Peter sings "Into a game, into a game....", which eventually fades out.
