  			hang around the 8th fret F, with a C shape 

At times it transitions into what would be like changing from a C to an F/C open. It  
goes back and forth. You don't have to play the B string really if you can't handle the  
pinky action for hammering on the Bb. 

e----------| 
B--6---6---| 
G--5---5---| 
D--7---8---| 
A--8---8---| 
E----------| 
   F  F/Bb 

Bb riff that aligns better with recording instead of just playing a Bb: 
D--5--------| 
A-----5--8--| 
E--6--6--6--| 

>For an easy version with capo at fret 5: 
>    F    = C 
>    F/Bb = Csus4 
>    Bb   = F 
>    G/C  = G 
>    C    = G 

F      F/Bb            F 
We got in your car and we hit the highway 
F        F/Bb           F 
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains 
           Bb 
Yellow and blood red bits 
       F             F/Bb F 
like a kaleidoscope 

And flaming swords may guard the garden of Eden 
But we consulted maps from earlier days 
Dead languages on our tongues 
Holding on to our last hope 

        G/C (just play a C on 3rd fret barred with the bar covering the 3rd fret 6th  
string G as well) 
And the day was bright and fine 
        Bb          C                F               
Bb   C 
And the highway sign said, ?San Bernadino welcomes you?? 

I checked us into our motel and filled the bathtub 
And you got in the warm warm water 
I pulled petals from my pocket 
I loved you so much just then 

And it was hard but you were brave, you are splendid 
And we will never be alone in this world 
no matter what they say 
We?re gonna be okay 

We were safe inside 
and our new son cried, ?San Bernadino welcomes you?
