Sayonara

Sayonara
I must be dreaming
For rain
Sayonara
I must be dreaming
For ever
You excite enough faith
For me
Sayonara
I must be dreaming
They sing
Sayonara
I must be dreaming
We are singing
Some swing
Who loved crying
Fear and laughter
Sway end and swing

Song Structure:

One guitar plays a chord of C5 for most of the song. Another guitar occasionally pops up playing the Riff. When playing the Riff make sure to kill each note off very quickly, otherwise it won't sound right. Listen to the record and you'll hear what I mean.
Towards the end the C5 playing guitar starts to play a very wishy-washy Solo with tons of chorus and reverb on it. My guess is it's something like the Solo tabbed above. After playing the solo this guitar goes back to playing a single note of C (3rd fret on the A string), repeatedly, until the fade out.
And the song never deviates from a chord of C, but you can put ones in like Cadd2 or just C played this way .

Lyrics:

Hide Away


Sayonara

I must be within

For rain



Sayonara

I must begin

For ever


You ex stand and I will face

For again


Sayonara

I must be within

Lately they sing



Sayonara

I must be give in

We all singing

Turn swing

Who loved crying

Fear and laughter

Way, lay and swing
