Chorus E6 Dmaj7 Come join us in a prayer, we'll be waiting, waiting where A Everything's ending here. Post chorus 1 D E A And all the sterile striking it depends an empty dock you cast away D E A And rain upon you forehead where the mist's for hire if it's just too clear D E A Lets spend out last quarter stance randomly D E A Go down to the outlet once again Verse 2 E6 Dmaj7 Paved portraits of minions and slaves, crotch mavens and one night plays A E6 Are they the only ones who laugh? At the jokes when they are so bad Dmaj7 A And the jokes are always bad, but they're not as bad as this. Chorus E6 Dmaj7 Come join us in a prayer, we'll be waiting, waiting where A Everything's ending here.

It's a slack tuning, meaning strings are lowered in pitch by slackening the tension. You tune the strings (low to high) to: D-A-D-G-A-C#. You can do this by tuning the 1st string (the high e) down until it matches the sound of the 2nd string played on the 2nd fret (C#). Then tune the 2nd string down until it matches the sound of the 3rd string played on the 2nd fret. Finally, tune the 6th string down two semi-tones to D. You can tune it so that it sounds an octive lower than the 4th string. If you're not good at hearing octives, tune it so the 6th string played on the 12th fret matches the 4th string. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings are not altered.
