[Verse 0:41-1:05]
Here you play both the rhythm and the lead. Listen to the song for the strumming pattern.

[Chorus 1:06-1:28]
"These are the days...that must happen to you."
There are only two chords in the chorus, but the strumming pattern is weird and changes often.
He often strums off time for effect. Listen to the song to see what I mean.

[Bridge 1:55-2:08]
"And so we approach the end, when God judges man's sin."
I'm least confident of this part of the tab. The song definitely consists of multiple guitars. But you can
probably make something out of what I've done here.

[Solo 1 2:14-2:38]
"Yeah the whole world is gonna shake..."
Multiple guitars are layered in the mix, so this is probably only a portion of what's being played. It's also
probably a safe bet to say that he's playing other strings open while playing this. The number of notes here
is approximate.

"These are the days that must happen to you. Stars are aligned for God's chosen few."
As with the previous solo, it's probably a safe bet to say that he's playing other strings open while
playing this. The number of notes here is approximate.

[Verse 3/ Outro 3:28-]
"The city...is ours for the taking..."
I can't figure out exactly what he's doing during this part, so here are three possibilities.
The first is to play what you played for the previous two verses:
D |-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---|

F#|-00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0---|
D |-00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0---|
A |-99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0---99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0---99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0---|
D |-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0---99-9-9-9---99-999-99-999-999-9---|
D |-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-000-0----------|
A |-00-0-0-0---00-000-00-000-777-9----------|
F#|-00-0-0-0---00-000-77-888-000-0----------|
D |-00-0-0-0---77-999-00-000-000-0----------|
A |-99-101010--00-000-00-000-000-0----------|
D |-77-7-7-7---77-777-77-777-777-7----------|
The second option is to play this with a mixture of furious picking and big messy strumming.
D |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
F#|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D |--44-555-77-999-1111-121212-141414-16---------------------------------------------------------------------|
A |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
The third option is to play a variation of the second option where you mirror what you're playing on the
highest D string.

[Verse 1]
These are the days
Marching toward us with visions in their eyes
These are the days
Racing toward us with blood on their teeth and lips
[Refrain]
And I can hardly wait to hear that great trumpet sound
Pouring down out across the land
[Chorus]
These, these are the days that must happen to you
These, these are the days that must happen to you
[Verse 2]
These are the days that must happen to you
Bloody times ahead for God's chosen few
With our instruments swords, weapons of war
Marching around the city seven times
[Refrain]
And I can hardly wait to hear that great trumpet sound
Pouring down out across... out across the land
[Bridge]
So we approach the end, when God judges man's sin
Yeah the time is running thin
Let the countdown begin
Four... three... two... one...
[Verse 3]
Yeah the whole world is gonna shake
When The Levee Breaks
And it feels the wrath
Of God's terrible swift sword
[Chorus]
(These, these are the days that must happen to you)
These are the days that must happen to you
These are the days that must happen to you
Christ is the word, Christ is the word
These are the days that must happen to you
(These, these are the days that must happen to you)
These are the times that must happen to you
These are the things that must come out of love
To bring out the best to bring out the worst
Times of it all
[Verse 4]
These are the days that must happen to you
The stars are aligned for all God's chosen few
These are the days that must happen to you
The stars are aligned for all God's chosen few
So all you haircut bands, doing headstands
Thinking you'll turn the world upside down
Put your guitars up over your shoulders
A new sort of experience is taking over
'cos we're simply the best band in the whole damn land
And 'Texas Is The Reason'
[Outro]
The city is ours for the taking
And a host of many
More Heavenly angels
Are on their way
These are the days
