Verse 1
=======

...........................

Instruments playing:

1.Strummed nylon guitar
2.Bass - played with pick and muted with the wrist.
3.Shaker.

Both bass and guitar play a similar rhythm figure:

||:! - + - + - - ! - + - - + - + - :||

(accents '!'=strong '+'=firm '-'=subtle)

............................

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
Tell me now what have you done,

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
To justify your life my son?

|Dm - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - Bbmaj7- |
Did you help your brothers when they were down?

|Am - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - - - |
And when the bullets flew did you stick around?

Verse 2
=======

....................

Electric guitar with chorus + delay takes over the strumming
Rythme changes slightly to:

||:! - - - ! - - ! - ! - - - ! - - :||

.....................

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
I had no words, I never spoke,

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
If had said one thing, you wouldn't know.

|Dm - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - Bbmaj7- |
I did no harm, I hurt no one,

|Am - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - - - |
Why you ask me now? My chance has gone.

Chorus
======

..................

Acoustic guitar takes over strumming again.
Full rotary organ plays as one with acoustic guitar.
Shaker holds the tempo with tamborine on the off-beat.

..................

|Am7 - - D7 - - - - |G - - Bm - - - - |
Please don't.. send me away....

|Am7 - - D7 - - - - |C - - C - (B in bass)|
I want.. to come in.

|Am7 - - D7 - - - - |G - - Bm - - - - |
If you .. give me today

|Am7 - - D7 - - - - |Cmin- - - - - - - |
I.. will try again.

Verse 3
=======

................

Cue gritty drum pattern with gramaphone crackle in background.

Cue chorus electric guitar playing the chord of 'F' all the way through
(quietly, though!)

.................

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
Childhood gave you all the breaks

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
But all you did was take and take..

|Dm - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - Bbmaj7- |
You say you did no harm, but you did no good

|Am - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - - - |
You never sought redemption, I think you should.

Verse 4
=======

Electric guitar with chorus takes over strumming from acoustic guitar as verse 2

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
I realise my selfish love

|F - - - - - - - |Bb (F in Bass) - - - - |
Has always got me through by just enough

|Dm - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - Bbmaj7- |
I never thought this day would come

|Am - - - - - - - |Bb - - - - - - - |
When the demons of my soul will be undone.

Chorus
======

|Am7 - - D7 - - - - |G - - Bm - - - - |....
Please don't.. send me away....

Instrumental
============

The wierd noises in this section actually come from a
guitar solo played in reverse, slowed down and cut up.

Coda
====

|D - - Em7 - - - - |G - - Asus4 - - - - |
Look up and see the angels, The gates have opened up for you

|D - - Em7 - - - - |G - - Asus4 - - - - |
I hope you're mind is peaceful and love is everything you do..
