this part is all harmonics, play it through distortion and it'll
sound great. just play it as if your hand wasn't strong enough to
press down on the frets just right, you'll get very good artificial
harmonics.
the intro part is throughout the speech ("vanity of vanities..."
verse pt 1 is played once or twice in the beginning of the verse,
verse pt 2 is played throughout most of the verse, with a B chord
sometimes substituted for the A chord (the A chord is marked with a *).
verse pt 3 is used at the end of the verse and during the solo, right
before the solo, it's doubled and harmonized a fourth up (same fret, next
higher string)
wailing guitar throughout the beginning:

there's more, but that's all i really feel like sitting down
and figuring out.
lyrics:
[now i would like, friends, this evening, we should stand there ]
[with all other of gods creatures on the curtstone. and watch this]
[march of time; let us take our stand with them. and as we ]
[stand there i hear one of them whispering "he is a hebrew slave,"]
[he said. "vanity of vanities, the whole thing is a vain charade; ]
[it has no meaning." ]
ooh the hand
of god
lays high
above me
oh he's so good
if you really
loved me
make me feel
your mighty crunch
as you run
me out
like a wall defiled scepter
[let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray]
oooh the hand
of god
is stacked
and callous
bruised
from stones
and sticks
the hand
of god
has got
a ring about the size of texas
maybe sleet
steadied stones
my fingers
never smelled.
[let it be turned to see if it fits ]
[--stolen--whoa, then, ]
[don't touch anything unholy with it!]
[let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray]
(preacher speaking)
Now I would like friends if this evening
We should stand there with all other of God's
Creatures on the curbstone and watch this
March of time. Let us take our stand with them
And as we stand there I here one of them whispering
He is a Hebrew sage, he says 'vanity of vanities the
whole thing is a vain parade. It has no meaning'
(end preacher speaking)
The hand of God lays high above me
I'll be so good if you really love me
Let me feel your mighty crunch
As you rub me out like water, fire, coal, etc.
Let it be known today, if you got two hands
You're supposed to pray
Fingers of fire, coal, and lead
Fondly love me 'til I'm dead
The hand of God is thick and callous
Bruised and torn from stones and sticks
The hand of God has got a ring about the size of Texas
Made of sweet, smelly stuff
My fingers never smell
Let me try on your hand and see if it fits
Don't worry I won't touch anything unholy with it
Let it be known today, if you got two hands
You're supposed to pray
