[Verse 1] (Palm Mute C#5 (x46xxx) - the whole thing )
Live, learn, and let it lie
Skip to the end to wonder why
And I will lay down
Here you'll find that we all are
Blossoms that bloom to fall apart
And I will lay down
[Chorus]
So Abba father are you sleeping As we toil through your gardens keeping?

(Alternately, someone is following the lyrics mostly on the D String - up to the trem picking
at the end of the song - this sounds way better than the power chords)
Something like this (follow the lyrics - including syllables!)
