There are four picking patterns used throughout the song. One for each of
>the Am, Em and C chords used, with a change of pattern on the Am in the
>second and subsequent verses (although the original pattern is still used
>for the choruses and outro). Its hard to tell what the fingerpicked
>guitar does when the chords change in the outro, as there is another
>guitar over the top, playing some similar ideas up an octave (I might get
>round to transcribing these one day!)
>
>Here is the chord structure for the song:
>Note that the complete picking pattern takes up two bars.

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
MIm
All these things into position,
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Am (4 bars)
DO MIm LAm
And fade out again
DO MI m LAm
And fade out again
DO MIm LAm
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
DO MIm
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhh
*First chorus ends here.
