Intro:
Note: I always thought that this was just a straightforward
      F#5 strumming, however, upon closer listen, you can
      clearly hear the changes from 244xxx to 044xxx
      When playing, try to focus on strumming the E and A
      strings more. You may want to just play the chords as
      24xxxx and 04xxxx

Note 2: Listen to the recording to get how this is played
        I prefer all downstrum, but you may play whatever way you wish


(Played fast)

(Play 4 times and lead into Verse)


Verse:
(* =  After chord is played, 3 muted harmonics are played quickly between
      To do this, move your pointer finger from the 2nd to 3rd fret;
      lightly touching the E string and strum away. You'll hear the same
      sound as on the recording).

Pre-chorus:

(Bass only)
People I've seen my day, ranting and raving this beauty away
We are by and large the same, but words are too feeble, they cannot contain


Chorus 1:

*F#5  E5  D5    B5
He was a rock 'n roll Messiah

A5      D5            E5
She was known for her childcare

*F#5     E5    D5          B5
Truth is gonna give up the World

   A5        D5          E5
If you can  give up the stage

    E5         E5
The stage, the stage..... Come on!

*F#5     E5    D5          B5
Truth is gonna give up the World

   A5        D5          E5
If you can  give up the stage

   A5      D5          E5
If I can  give up the stage

If we can  give up the stage

    Don't do this, wake me up to...

D5       D5       D5    D5
night. Tonight, tonight...

(strum F#5 once and hold into solo)


Solo:
Note: This was difficult to make out on the recording,
      so it is more than likely not 100%. Just fool around with
      it and you will come close. Or you can always improvise
      if you're good. :)
