Intro Lick: Acoustic Guitar

Repeat
 
Note: From here on out, the acoustic guitar mostly
improvises along with the chords. Therefore, I think
that it would be pure folly to tab exactly what Curt
played. The electric guitar is very well defined,
however, and has been notated.

Verse 1:
 
F#m
    Well the colors are flowing
E
    From the wall to the floor
F#m                             E
    And only an outline still remains
               B
    Cause the roofs got a hole in it
     C#  D                 E             F#m
    And everything's been ruined by the rain
 
 
Verse 2: Same chords
There may be diamonds
In that dream on the hill
But the people that live there still complain
Cause the roofs got a hole in it
And everything is soaking in the rain

Verse 3: Same chords
No one can practice
Common sense that they see
Through the nickel and diming I'll explain
Well the roof's got a hole in it
And everything is ruined by the rain
 
Yeah my head's got a hole in it
And everything's been ruined by the rain

this tab and the author's tab for flaming heart (and i wonder how many more) were both copied exactly from tabs on a page called the puppetorium that is devoted to meat puppets tabs. it would be cool to have those tabs on this page but credit should be given to the person who originally figured it out. i've been using that page myself as a starting point for my own tabs.
