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

Intro: (slide guitar stuff, etc. not worth tabbing. if you must know it,

you can probably figure it out.)

Riff 1

Verse: (play Riff 1 over the verses)

Painted old lady

Collecting splinters on the bench

She's waiting to go to heaven

One-eyed old man

With his party hat on

He swears there is no hell

No hell....

Chorus: (play Riff 2 over chorus)

Play mainly the lower strings on chorus chords (i'm not very sure of these).

D2 Am G

I know a girl

D2 Am G

Who believes a girl

D2 Am G C (beginning of verse chords)

Who believes she used to be a dog

Verse: During the second verse, in addition to Riff 1, a second

guitar repeats the chords C and Am. You can also throw in a quick

F between the Am and C to simulate the bass. If you do this I

suggest you only hit the low strings on the F chord to keep it from

sounding jangly.

C

Elevator rising

Am (F)

I wonder what's on the top floor

C Am (F)

The numbers are on the wall

C

The sun also rises

Am (F)

And the shadows soon fall

C

I keep looking to the sky

Am (F?)

Keep looking to the sky....

On the last "sky," there is an additional guitar part G --1---/3---/5----

I can't quite get the chords behind this ascending part. For now I stick

with the trusty F chord, but if anyone can hear this better, let me know.

Repeat Chorus

Riff before bridge (repeat x3)

D -2-2-2-2--1-1-1-1-----------------------------|
A -------------------2-2-2-2--------------------|
E -----------------------------4-4-2-4----------|

Bridge:

G*

It don't matter what I say

F Am

Cause no one is right and no one is wrong

G*

I guess that we'll find some day

F Am

That no one was right and no one was wrong
