Play the intro again, then the verse, and then the intro.

Then play this - the pre-chorus:

Then play this -the chorus- 3 times.

B--14-14-10-10-9-9-7-7-5-4-4-5-7---------------------
G----------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------

At this point Thom sings "Silent, Silent"

Play the intro twice, then the pre-chorus and chorus, and then the intro once more.

Solo:

E------0-2-0-------0-2-3-2-0-----------2-0-----------
B----4-------4---1-----------1-----4-------4---------
G--4-----------4---------------4-4---4-------4-------
D----------------------------------------------------

B--1-----------1-------------3-----------------------
G----------------6-------4-5-------------------------
D------------------7-6-7-----------------------------

E----------------------------------------------------


Play the pre-chorus and the chorus again.
Then finish off with the intro twice and end nicely on:

E--16--
B--17--
G--16--
D------
A------
E------


OK, and that was only guitar one; guitar two is next (sorry to waste so much space!)

Guitar 2 - capoed at 2nd fret (played live I've noticed it's capoed at 3rd fret, so I think that guitars are probably tuned to Eb on the album, but it's as easy to capo it at 2nd fret.)
