[Verse]
 
(drum fill)
"I had a dream so big and loud..."
 
"...please don't wake me now..."
 
Most of the interesting part is played on the banjo, but I don't know banjo
and it is very hard to hear during the chorus on any recording that I've
found.  So, when I'm playing this song on guitar, I find that it is much
easier and doesn't change the sound of the song too much to just do this:

I'm not expert but, my correction : (This little part is played on guitar by the way), your solo after verse 2 sound better like this : (not sure about the 0, it's maybe from the bass) Solo e----------------------------| B----------------------------| G----------------------------| D----------------------------| x2 A--9--7--5-------------------| E--0--------7--5--7--5-7-----| e----------------------------| B----------------------------| G----------------------------| D----------------------------| x2 A--5--7--9--7--5--7----------| E-------------------7--5-----| I don't hear enough to correct the part of banjo, like you it's to hard to hear... ;)
