   An open ravine

   In my spirit white

[Verse 3]
 
R3
   Through an open doorway
R3
   Across a street
R3
   To another life
R3
   And catching my reflection
R3
   In a window
R3
   Switching on a light
R3
   One I didn’t know
R1
   Totally alive
R1
   Totally released

here's what I believe is the intro to the studio version. You pretty much nailed everything else. |-5-----4-----2-------------2h3p0---------------------------------------| |---0-----0-----0---3-5-----------3-5-0---------------------------------| |-----0-----0-----0-----0-----------------2-0---0-2-------2-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-----0-----0-----------0-------------0-----4-------0-----3-2-2-2-0-0-| |-----------------------------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-| |---------------------------------------------------0---0---------------| |---------------0-0-0-0-0---------------------0-| |-------------0-1-1-1-0-0---------------------0-| |---2---------0-3-3-3-2-2-2---2---2p0---0h2-----| |-----5/3/2p0-0-----------------------4---------| |-------------------------------------------0---| |-0-------------------------0---0-----------0---|
