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

[NOTE: The intro minus the part before the exclamation points above is

what guitars 1 & 2 play during all the verses of the song. Listed below

over the lyrics will be only the chords played by guitar 1, but the part

played by guitar 2 is also being played in the song.]

[ANOTHER NOTE: After guitar 1 has played each chord progression above

(F#m A E D A), this is how the second "A" in the chord progression is

played by guitar 1:]

Verse 1

F#m A E D A

Listen up, what's the time, said today I'm gonna speak my mind

F#m A E D A

Take me up to the top of the world I wanna see my crime

F#m A E D A

Day by day there's a man in a suit, he's gonna make you pay

F#m A E D A

For the thoughts that you think and the words they won't let you say

Pre-Chorus

F#m Faug A/E B7

One fine day, gonna leave you all behind

Bm7 D E

It wouldn't be so bad if I had time

Chorus

D A/C# E

Sail me down the river alone

D A/C# F#m

I've been tryin' to find my way back home

D A/C#

But I don't believe in magic

D A/C#

Life is automatic

B7 D A (pick "A" like guitar 2 in verse)

But I don't don't mind being on my own

B7 D A A

No I don't mind being on my own

Tab for high pitched guitar in background of chorus:

You'l hear this little riff repeating again and again in the chorus

background with some sort of weird guitar effect used on it:
