D|--------12-11---------------------------|
A|--/9-----------9-----\(7)--7-7/9--------|
E|----------------------------------------|
To explain the \(7) part: basically as the 9 dies out, slide down
to the 7 but don't pick the note. Then pick the 7-7/9.
Pre-chorus (1:20 - 1:29) (You can either play a full Bminor chord,
or you can just play a B power chord. Your call.)

(You can faintly hear that last part being played, it's the second
guitar's part.)
Back to verse (1:30 - 1:59)
Chorus (2:00 - 2:29) (Not sure on a lot of this due to multiple guitars
being played, looking for some input on the other guitar part(s).
I've got a little bit of the second/lead guitar figured out, but not much.)
(Also, not sure on playing the Gmaj chord twice, or just once,
it's hard to tell.)

(Play it twice, then end the second time on the Bminor chord.)
Verse (2:43 - 3:15)
The second guitar here just plays (more or less) an octave up of the riff.
Listen with just the right ear if you want to get it exact.
Bridge (3:16 - 3:31) Listen for the rhythm.

(This ^ is optional, I like to play it to thicken the chord a little.)
(If you play it, use your thumb, and mute the A string.)

On a bus ride into town
I wondered, "Why am I going to town?"
As I looked around
At the billboards and the stores
I thought, "Why do I look around?"
I got up and bowed
And I kissed the filthy ground
And in the first dry spot I found I laid back down
Without having to wonder
Why I was laying down
Before long I was too cold
And so I took a bus back to the station
I found a letter left by a pay phone
With no return contact
And it read like a horn blown
By some sad angel:
"Bunny, it was me
It was me who let you down"
It was the shyest attempt
I'd ever seen at conversation
If I didn't have you as my guide
I'd still wander lost in Sinai
Counting the plates of cars from out of state
(How I could jump in their path as they hurry along!)
Until you surround me
You're pretty but you're all I can see
Like a thick fog
If there was no way into God
I would never have laid in this grave of a body
For so long
St. Cyril's fair always came through
The first week of September
But it's already the 19th
And there's no sign of it yet
I have a hard time remembering
The things I should remember
And a hard time forgetting
All the things I should forget
Oh Christ, when you're ready to come back
I think I'm ready for you to come back
But if you want to stay wherever exactly it is you are
That's okay too -
It's really none of my business
And if I didn't have you as my guide
I'd still be wandering lost in Sinai
Or down by the tracks
Watching trains go by to remind me:
There are places that aren't here
I had a well but all the water left
So I'll ask for your forgiveness
With every breath
If there was no way into God
I would never have laid in this grave of a body
So long, dear
