14th June 1999

These chords are far from accurate but you should be able to sing a half 
decent version using them. If anybody can do better or suggest any good 
chord voicings for it then please let me know!

INTRO:
Em Bm D A
G Bm Em D
Em Bm C A
G Bm Em D

Em            Bm        D                 A
I can take or leave it, won't be the woebegone
       G            Bm          Em                 D
Don't need a model universe to hang your pictures on
     Em                  Bm                C                   A
You hide somewhere, You die somewhere and then this senseless thought:
    G                   Bm                Em                 D
By hating more, you're feeling more, and that's how you get caught
Em                  Bm               Em              D
They're never gonna make it easy, of this you can be sure
      Em                  F#m              A                B
I'll greet you from your wilderness, I'll stay inside your door


Em                  Bm     D                       A
There is no cage or prison, they have no fence too tall
G                       Bm                 Em                D
You die more times than anyone and there's still no place to fall
Em                  Bm              Em                    D
They're never gonna keep it simple, this comes down from above
Em                 F#m             Bm                 A                B
I have no helm, no secret realm, I dream to be at the heart of love, a part 
of love

SOLO:
(Play intro chords, followed by)...
Em Bm Em D
Em F#m A B

Don't ask me to tab the solo, I'm not good enough! Try improvising
around an E minor scale...

Em            Bm              D                      A
I bet you can conceal it, but that's just a dead-end track
      G                  Bm               Em                  D
I'll cover you like the driven snow, and then I'll bring you back
        Em                            Bm                  C                  
  A
You'll see, you'll feel like, you'll feel like a banner, unfurled and gently 
blown
     G                 Bm               Em                D
And there before your opening eyes the self you've never known
Em                  Bm               Em              D
They're never gonna make it easy, of this you can be sure
        Em             F#m          A             B
You'll feel untied, beatified, and loved forever more...

Hope this is of use, I think it's an amazing song!
