Some notes about this tab. Listen for the pull-offs and bends in the intro. I did not
include all of them. The rhythm for the verse is up for interpretation, but the order of
the chords should be correct. Same goes with the chorus. The bridge has 3 patterns with the
first one repeated the most often. Consider this tab to be more of a guide that has the
correct notes that need to be played.
 
Edited for accuracy in the intro part, chord names, and lyrics. Have fun!

[Lyrics]
 
[Intro]
 
[Verse 1:]
                        Em7
I heard the thunder and lightning
                     Em7
Struck by your tower today
                            A7
And though the world wasn’t frightened
                         Em7
You sent the whole world away
                             B7
And now you're huddled there alone in your tower of tears
      B7       A#7    A7
Every step and every stone filled with millions of fears
                              Em7
Your poison blood and brittle bones
                     B7
Start to clutter and crack
                       Em7  B7  Em7
Beneath your hell of a home
 
[Transition A]
                              Em7
Cut down by the cruel and the crass fold
                               Em7
Catch hell from the mighty and high
                           A7
Ain’t nowhere left for the good to go
                            Em7
No truth in a world full of lies
                         B7
Our unforgiving fettered foes fumbling stumble around
        B7       A#7      A7
Gather all their greed to go back to their hole in the ground
                               Em7                       B7
To wash their hands of all the blood begged borrowed and stole
                    Em7  B7  Em7
To keep a good man down
 
[Transition B]
 
[Chorus:]
          A5
Shake the hands of holy ghosts
       A5
Dance along an ivory coast
           E5
Share your flesh with passing shadows
     E5
On a bed of broken hopes
           A5
Be sure to breath in deeply every bit of sin
                    B5
That your lungs can hold
Pause
Welcome all your bastard actions back home
 
 
[Bridge:]
 
[Part 1:]
Why do we cry cry our eyes out
In them low lowly graves
Mourning all the times
We would’ve could’ve should’ve had our way
 
[Part 2:]
We were hard hearted heathens
To their soul saving saints
Spilling blood in the same God’s holy name
 
[Part 3:]
We were the heathens to their saints
Spilling blood in the same God’s holy name
 
[Chorus:]
          A5
Shake the hands of holy ghosts
       A5
Dance along an ivory coast
           E5
Share your flesh with passing shadows
     E5
On a bed of broken hopes
           A5
Be sure to breath in deeply every bit of sin
                    B5
That your lungs can hold
[Pause]
Welcome all your bastard actions back home
