I love this song, and I searched the entire web looking for a tab of this
solo. But all i found was chord progressions. Which help, but I eventually
had to figure this out by ear. So if you're anything like me, and really
wanted a tab of this. Here you go. Sorry if it's a little hard to read or
inaccurate. But this is my first tab. Any suggestions for future tabbing
will be highly appreciated. Thanks! :) Yes  I did borrow some things from
other tabs. I would give credit, but I have no clue who I would give credit
to. Here's the link to a tab I got most of this from.

My goal is not to be the one with the best tab but to help others learn the
song in one easy tab.

b = bend
r = release
~ = hold, vibrato
tr = trill
h = hammer on
p = pull off

Verse:
__________________________________________________________________________
F#   Abmin   Bbmin Ebmin          B

Ever night I say a prayer, in the hopes that


          C#

there's a heaven

    F#   Abmin   Bbmin   Ebmin        B

but everyday I'm more confused as the saints


          C#

turn into sinners


        Ebmin*** (This is a walkdown with Ebmin)

All the heroes and legends I knew as a child


     B                  C#

have fallen to idols of clay


      F#        Abmin Bmin     Ebmin     B

And I feel this empty space inside, so afraid


                  C#

that I've lost my faith
______________________________________________________________________
Chorus:
______________________________________________________________________
            F#      C# B

Show me the way


            F#      C# B

Show me the way


        F#             Bbmin     Ebmin

Take me tonight to the river and wash my

            Abmin    C#

illusions away

            F#

show me the way

The interlude that seemingly changes keys:

Bb                             Ebmin-C#-B

Then back to the chorus, which is played twice. Then into the outro, which
is just the first line of the first verse, so you would play this:

F#   Abmin   Bbmin Ebmin          B

Ever night I say a prayer, in the hopes that


          C#

there's a heaven

Chords:

F#          Abmin       Bbmin       Ebmin       B           C#          Bb
e|---2----| e|---4----| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------| e|--------|
