D A Bm D
The pylons found fault lines to run through the heart

So as to let the old die without power or pills

D A Bm D
The ghost of O'Donahue scared not the lad
D A Bm D
Who in desert respect lost the smile he borne glad
D A Bm D
Sat quite chief and folorn and pitched with the spectre
D A Bm D
Escaped all exhaustions and prayers from the rector
Bm D Em11 D
And with glancing devout pulled a frown from his sack
Bm D Em11 A
Weighed with loaves from the oven and ale from the rack
Bridge:
A hammer-on Asus4

How I fingerpick: the rhythm is a little difficult. Try alternating between
the
two lower notes with your
thumb first to get that rhythm(as I have tried to describe) down then adding
the
top 2 notes. One of them is an 8th that you have to sneeeak in there - Just
listen closely to the recording too I am pretty sure this is how johnny does
it.
