Okay, now this is the most difficult part of all---playing them in order.
You start out with the intro, and then play the parts in this order:
(Pickup)...then
1-2-1-2-|
3-2-1-2-|
1-2-3-2-|
1-2-1-2-|

He pretty much repeats this the whole song. During a short "bridge" section he'll play
part twice in a row for a bit instead of alternating each time.
Lyrics:
A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world
A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
If God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the earth
A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world
--------------
