[Intro]
 
G  D  Em  D  D  A   x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
        G               Em   D
Well, I met the seventh son
    A
He came for everyone
     G                Em      D         A
The day he heard the lighting in the field
   G                   Em   D
I heard him clear his throat
    A
A fork within the road
        G            Em     D           A
That night the Tallahatchie took the wheel
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em
I’ve been throwing knives
    G                   D
To see just where they land
Em      G                 A
Now my world is in your hands
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 D      Am          Em
 riff   Send in the congregation
 D      Am             Em
 riff   Open your eyes, step in the light
 D      Am        Em
 riff   A jukebox generation
 D      Am          Em
 riff   Just as you were
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
     G              Em   D
The voice upon the stage
        A
Is the heart inside a cage
            G              Em       D        A
And they’re singing like a bluebird in the round
        G               Em   D
There’s mystery in this wood
     A
And ghosts within these roots
         G               Em       D             A
That are tangled deep beneath this southern ground
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 
Em
I’ve been going through life
G               D
Making foolish plans
Em         G            A
Now my world is in your hands
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
 D       Am          Em
 Riff    Send in the congregation
 D       Am                   Em
 Riff    Open your eyes, step in the light
 D       Am        Em
 Riff    A jukebox generation
 D       Am          Em
 Riff    Just as you were
 
 
[Interlude]
 
 G  D  Em  D  D  A x2
 
 
[Solo]
 
Em      Em      G       D       x3
Em      Em      D       D
A       A
 
 
[Outro]

Dm
No false hope
Dm
No false hope
Dm
Do you have blind faith?
         F
No false hope

                    Dm

No false hope
          Dm              F
Open your eyes, open your eyes

Chorus riff: E|-------------------------------------------------- B|-------------------------------------------------- G|--------------2~---------------------------------- D|--0---2---4-------0---2---4---0~---0---2---4~----- A|-------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------- It works for me when I play it on acoustic guitar (it is also very similar to Wheels' intro riff). Are you sure about that Am in chorus? I would go for a C. Not 100% convinced though. Thanks for the great tab pimmyjage!
