Solo
----
w/ Chorus chords
Okay, I have no clue as to what's going on in this solo...
whether he's bending notes, using the whammy bar, etc... so
here's my interpretation:
The G-to-A bends might be with the whammy bar - they sound pretty
smooth.

The lead part is just the first four bars of the solo and then
a part similar to the intro lead.
Lyrics
------
Late at night I close my eyes
And think how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some things you had said to me
It's better to have lost at love
Than never to have loved at all
chorus:
I won't forget you baby (I won't forget you)
Even though I could
I won't forget you baby (I won't forget you)
Even though I should
Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all the crazy things that we used to do
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
chorus
I should let you fade away
But that just wouldn't be me
Oh, baby
solo
I won't forget you baby (I won't forget you)
Memories slowly fade
I won't forget you baby (I won't forget you)
And all the plans we made
I won't forget you baby
