+Added by Matthew R:
+If you have trouble with barre chords, you can also play this with Capo 2 as follows:
+A:  00222x
+A*: 00020x
+E:  022100
+So with the riff, the intro chords look roughly like:
+     A     riff    A*   riff
+e: -------------------------
+B: 2-2-2---2-0---0-0-0---2-0
+G: 2-2-2---------2-2-2------
+D: 2-2-2---------0-0-0------
+A: 0-0-0---------0-0-0------
+E: 0-0-0---------0-0-0------
+A A* riff (2x)
+A                             A*
+The last of the repercussions died off real slow
+A
+And the sky was still
+A*
+And the cold sun sank down beneath the snow
+A            E     A*               A
+I hung by my hand from the tree outside
+                    E         A
+And I looked on the whole wide world
+A A* riff (2x)
+A
+When the voices came quietly
+A*
+I shut them down
+A
+When a tricky young southerly wind
+A*
+Came at me with its high whistling sound
+A                  E
+I turned around to face it
+A*                       A
+With real arrogance burning inside
+                   E          A
+And I drank in the whole wide world
+A A* riff
+(Anyone with a better idea for naming/playing what I have here as "A*" here on the
+capo 2 tab, please feel free to suggest below!)
