There are two parts to this song. The lead guitar, which is picking through chords for almost the entire song, is Derek Webb. He is in an alternate tuning, though, (it is DGDGAD) and so I will not put his part up. I know to a few of you that is a pain, but to most it will save you numerous sets of strings from breaking, so I have to consider the masses. Again, anything you want and cannot find, simply e-mail me and ask! Anyway, Cliff's part is Capoed at the 4th fret, and played in G. That puts the actual song in , fyi. With a little practice, though, you can play the entire song with his part and come pretty close to the record. Just work on picking through the chords as opposed to just strumming straight down. I also went through every verse, as opposed to saying "see above" or something like that; there are some small subtle changes thrown in. Be sure to look through all the verses if you want to catch these. Only the chorus is the same throughout. All chords are given relative to the Capo Intro: (NOTE: If you are really ambitious, you can pick through these. I have tabbed out a pretty nice way to go about it. It is really fast, so it will take some practice, and mail me if you ahve questions) ---------------------------------------- ------3---------1------1p0h1--------3--- ------------------------------2--------- --------------------------------0-0----- ---------3p0-h3---0h3------------------- -3-3------------------------------------ ---G--- ---Am7-- ----C----- ----D---- ---------------------------------------------- -------3-----------1------1p0h1-----------3--- --------------------------------2------------- ----------------------------------0-(4)-0----- ---------0h3p0-h3-----0h3--------------------- -0-0h3---------------------------------------- ---G--- ---Am7-- ----C----- ----D---- Verse: Spit and the clay, when washed away Gave the blind man sight New eyes couldn't comprehend the sun That by light ended the night Bridge: Shackled in blindness since his birth Whose sin, was it him, what's it all worth Interlude: } This time, these are just strummed, not } picked as earlier.
