Lyrics/Timing/order:

Intro (x1)

1st verse:
D        A/C#
Sometimes when the evening's young,
Bm           A
the wind dies down.  The setting sun
  G                     D/F#
crochets the clouds with yarn so fine
A/E                 D
and fills the oceans with red wine.
D              A/C#
The trees, the sky, the forest fair
Bm             A
bring a flavor to the air.
G                D/F#
I raise my glass, and in a while
   A/E           D
you answer with a secret smile.

Chorus
Bm   A        D    G
Hold on...    Hold on   (Page/Mike)
        with me...     (Trey)
Bm   A        D    G
Hold on...    Hold on   (Page/Mike)
        with me...     (Trey)

Intro(x2)

D           A/C#
An airborne leaf that landed near
Bm             A
has carried Dionysus here.
G                     D/F#
He'll slip again, but only when
  A/E              D
he sees our glasses filled again.
D        A/C#
Sometimes when the evening's young,
Bm           A
the wind dies down.  The setting sun
  G                     D/F#
crochets the clouds with yarn so fine
A/E                 D
and fills the oceans with red wine.

First off: the song is in 'A.'

Intro: 'A' arpeggio in the bass with 'b,b,b (break), b,c,d' as the melody notes in the right hand.

Verse:
A E/G#
Sometimes, when the evenings young

D A
The wind dies down, the setting sun

Dsus* D A F#m
crochets the clouds with yarn so fine

E A
and fills the oceans with red wine

(The Dsus listed above is not a true Dsus, the notes are G#+A+D, heavy on the G# then change it to the F# when it resolves. Play it in that inversion for the correct sound, with the G# and A on the bottom of the chord and the D on top.)

Others verses are the same (basically).
Transition to the chorus plays with a C#m....

Chorus:

F#m E C#m D walkup to F#m E C#m D walkdown to A
Hold On. Hold On. Hold On, to me

Then it does a G walkdown to D before entering the 2nd verse or the solo section.

Hope that's useful to someone. Cheers
