...then with vigor...

A (strum 4x) [key of D]

...then...

D, G, A
D, G, A
Bm, G, A, G, A
Bm, G, A

D, G, A "At the record company meeting..."
...

...then the aforementioned pattern repeats until the key change, where
from the last _A_ chord in the pattern slides down to the _F#_ chord and a
similar pattern ensues with a different key.

i.e.

... "...you could walked away...couldn't you?"
Bm, G, A

F#, [down to B key]
B, E, F# "I touched you at the soundcheck..."
B, E, F#
G#m, E, F#
G#m, E, F#
...

...then the solo follows:
