Then repeat Intro/Verse x2 
Then repeat Chorus (parts 1 and 2) as written 


Middle 8 

Depending on which clip you watch, Lindsey plays this two different ways ! 
With the version on the album its really hard to distinguish what hes doing with the 
rest of the band playing at the same time. On the YouTube clip where hes tuned down half a 
step, he basically plays the second half of the Intro/Verse riff minus two notes, like this... 

Middle 8 (version 1) 

e|------0-----0----------0-----0-----------0-----0--------0----0----------| 
B|-------------------------------------------------------0----0-----------| 
G|----2-----2-----2----2-----2-----2----2-----2-----2--------------2------| 
D|------------------------------------0-----0------0----------------------| 
A|--0-----0-----0----4-----4-----4----------------------------------------| 
E|-----------------------------------------------------0----0----0--------| 

On the YouTube clips where hes tuned down a full step, he seems to prefer moving up the 
neck, something like this... 

Middle 8 (version 2) 

e|------0-----0----------0-----0------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------7----7--------9---9--------------| 
G|----2-----2-----2----6-----6-----6----7----7----7---9---9---9-----------| 
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|--0-----0-----0----4-----4-----4----5----5----5----7---7---7------------| 
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

Personally, Ive been playing a combination of both, staying down the neck as in version 
1 but trying to make the higher strings do something a little different so the melody 
stands out more and gives that sense of variation from the main riff as in version 2. 

This is what I play... 

Middle 8 (version 3) 

e|------0-----0----------4-----4---------2-----2----------4----4----------| 
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|----2-----2-----2----2-----2-----2---2-----2-----2----1----1----1-------| 
D|------------------------------------0-----0-----0----2----2----2--------| 
A|--0-----0-----0----4-----4-----4----------------------------------------| 
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------| 


Whichever version you choose, the Middle 8 is played four times and then go back and 
keep repeating part 1 of the Chorus as many times as you like, on the record it’s about 
nine times. 

Finish the song on a single strum of A major
