Song title:      Faster Than Light
Original Album:  Try Whistling This

Words and Music by Neil Finn

NOTES:
I've described two ways to play the verse figure; the one at the higher
frets would suit an electric guitar, maybe... So, choose the fingering 
that suits you best. I mean, the idea is to avoid scuttling up and down 
the fretboard too much.

The chords are in 2 columns below. You should probably stick to one column 
for one way of playing (verse chords only).

An alternative ending might be just to end on the Gsus4 
('cos it's a great chord!).

I   know where the sun goes,

Gone to wake up the sparrows.

In England it's morning.

If you're looking for the message
Close your eyes
Do you hear what I'm thinking?
Is it how you imagined?
