There are slight fills at the end of this, which are different
for the two verses. They are

1         2
e---0h2--|--3-2---|
B--------|--------|
G--------|--------|
D--------|--------|
A--------|--------|
E--------|--------|

The bits between verses are just Eb and F chords played as
follows

Eb    F

e---6---------|
B---8----10---|
G---8----10---|
D---8----10---|
A---6----8----|
E-------------|

It goes Eb - F - Eb - F - Eb - F -Eb - F - F - F.

SR arpeggiates the chords second time around.

After the second 'chorus' he whips on a capo at the third fret
and plays an arpeggiated Cm7 as follows.

e------------------6--|
B-----------4p3h4-----|
G--------5------------|
D-----5---------------|
A--3------------------|
E---------------------|

He plays this repeadedly until the solo (There are various odd
bits of guitar under it but I haven't bothered to work them out)

Solo - a cracker. It's simple and very effective and I think I read
somewhere that he improvised it!!

This chord sequence is used until the end. Steve solos over it
after a while, using the same melodic ideas as the solo, but
now in Cm as opposed to Fm.

In addition to Chords / Tabs Marillion - The Last Straw (First Version), we offer an excerpt from a random book.All this was undoubtedly more important and much more necessary for him than a well-developed technique.
