Song Structure:

The song never deviates from a chord of A.  At the quiet bit at the start the only discernable part is the Main Riff, which continues throughout the song.  When it all gets loud, an acoustic guitar comes in playing the chord of A repeatedly.  You may want to hammer-on/pull-off between A and Asus2 to mimic Tim's vocal line.

Lyrics:

Well I see the prophet 

And the foward fake

And I hold it to your eyes


And the wind is spurned

To the trees

And spurning on your charms


And the ways are laughing on 

On your door

And the man is coming all old


And when when the crime is over

Who is safe

Who is safe

And who is gospel oak



On the glamorous night 

Each cragged end

And the murderer core survived


From the tunes today

It's sold your space

And I don't know your crime


From the board is slain

And honoured tall

And the wind it is so cold


And they're dueling on a foreign race

Foreign race

Foreign raced it all



So make cupped to me now

It's a long long lazy raves down streets' names


Don't give yer cap to me now

From the raging cloth and the ranging klaxon changed


Raise down 

Your soul

Your down 

In bloom

Raise down 

Hear slay

On and on 

Human race


Don't give up on me now

No don't give up on me now 

Now now so alone


You're already gone

When your face yours away

When you breeze on everyone
