Then the chords and the lyrics come in.


G (from Fill 1)   	C            	          D
     				So, so you think you can tell
             Am                  G                            D
heaven from hell, blue sky from pain. Can you tell a green field, from a 
             C                   Am                          G
cold steel rail, a smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? 


                   C                      D                     Am
Did they get you trade, your heroes for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air
             G                         D                  C        
from a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange, a walk on 
                Am                          G
the part in the war, for a lead role in the cage.

G (from Fill 1) C                          	 	D               Am
    How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming
          		 G                 D                               	 C
in a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground, but have
		 	  Am                   G
we found the same old fears, wish you were here.


(guitar solo, played over Fill 1)
This second guitar solo is almost identical to the first, with very 
slight variations on the same basic:
--------10		and 		--------12

ah in the first riff its 3-5-3 and the in the 2nd its 2-4-/6 there might be a few other mistakes but follow the tab and listen to the song at the same time and youll git r done

g. bush	November 4, 2004, 13:07
i've never seen a tab like that.it's holly shit. If i was you i'd shut a fuck and stop playing guitar.really man it's the worth tab i've never seen

dave	December 12, 2004, 5:43
g-bush, I have never seen spelling that bad....If I were you (which i am indeed glad i am not) i would stop writing alltogether

benn	March 25, 2005, 11:23
i agree with dave. g. bush: you should learn to write properly

Pavel	April 12, 2005, 0:54
g. bush cannot write properly. i suppose g. bush is G. W. Bu§h ... :)

July 8, 2005, 12:44

first of all the fact that ur name is g bush makes me wonder what in gods name are you doing on a tab sight if george bush or one of his minion republicans ever picked up a guitar i have a suspicion that it would burn them like holy water. and u have to be a fan of bush to critize a person that not only gave their time and effort to tab this song but actually do a good job please fall off a cliff and die

timi	July 28, 2005, 12:23
great job dude, thanks

This is how I play the solo, it's pretty close to his...
Play part A then play part B. Then play part A again, then Part C
Or just make one long tab out of it and play it. : )

Part A
e-----------------------------
b----- 3---5-s5--s7--5---3----
g--2-4---4-------------4---2--d-----------------------------
a-----------------------------
e-----------------------------

Part B
e-----------------------------
b--------3--h5--3-------------
g--4--h6------------2---------
d-----------------------------
a-----------------------------
e-----------------------------

Part C
e-----------------------------
b--------3--h5--3-------------
g-4--h6-----------s4--s6--s2--
d-----------------------------
a-----------------------------

ok just a small problome with the intro but cool shit keep it going.

the unKnOwn	February 15, 2006, 3:00
heY, i hAveNt EVeN tried this tab and i can tell it is really good, great jOb!!!!

the unKnOwn	February 15, 2006, 3:03
Ok, nOw iVe TrIed iT And I kNow THaT it KICKS ASS!!!! the intro is GREAT!!!!

the kid

February 18, 2006, 20:23

yea, i agree with J, in the last half of the intro when it says:
---------3-3-3-3----------
---------3-3-3-3----------
---------0-0-0-0----------
--2-0----0-0-0-0----------
-----2-0------------------
--------------------------
i believe THAT chord and only that chord is supposed to b like, 1/2 note higher, but i cant figure out how it should go. i play it like:
--3-3-3-3--
--3-3-3-3--
--0-0-0-0--
-----------
-----------
-----------
OR:
--4-4-4-4--
--3-3-3-3--
--0-0-0-0--
--0-0-0-0--
-----------
-----------
but neither one sounds right, if you think you have the right chord please post it

the who

February 18, 2006, 20:32

yea the kid is right, i think that the chord is
--3-3-3-3--
--3-3-3-3--
--0-0-0-0--
-----------
-----------
-----------
BUT that is only in the 2nd half of the intro when it goes
---------3-3-3-3--
---------3-3-3-3--
---------0-0-0-0--
--2-0----0-0-0-0--
-----2-0----------
------------------
just change the
-3-3-3-3-
-3-3-3-3-
-0-0-0-0-
-0-0-0-0-
---------
---------
to...
-3-3-3-3-
-3-3-3-3-
-0-0-0-0-
---------
---------
---------
