This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

You will have to listen to the song to piece this together. I told you

it was my first tab so go easy on the setup.

Mmmmmmmmmm

1. and with the early dawn moving right a long couldn't buy an eyefull

of sleep and in the aching night under satelites I was not received.

2. built with stloen parts, a telephone in my heart. some one get me a

priest to put my mind to bed. This ringing in my head, is this a cure

or is this a disease?

3. and in the after birth on the quiet earth let the stains re-mind you

You thought you made a man, you better think again before my role defines

you

Chorus: Nail in my hand from my creator you gave me life now show me how

to live.
