So...this is how I play it, but I'm sure it's likely played a full step lower than how I play it, but it sounds correct none the less. >:] Anyways...for now I'll post the basic chords with the lyrics and then add the specific tab parts later, including the solo...and I hope if it's not correct, that it helps someone tab it out more correctly... I play it in Standard E A D G B e tuning, but like I said, it may be played a full step lower if you know how to transpose...anyways Also, the clean parts I usually play with some Chorus effect or Reverb...maybe some good phaser mixed in there. Intro. A, A, C, D A, C, D(I like to let it ring out a bit, and tremolo/vibrato bend it a bit) Verse(First half clean)

^AI take a steam train to work ^CJust like the one my fath^Der took ^AAnd I pass over the walls ^CI see the people as^D I look

(transtion from clean to distortion during these lyrics) I see Verse(second half heavy distortion[prolly use power chords])

^A there's the block For^C folks with purple^D skin ^AThere's the block for^C folks who have no c^Dhin ^AThere's the block ^Cfor me & al^Dl my kin And o^Aver there is^C the change cage where w^De throw the rebels in

CHORUS

^AI work the change cage Here on our side of the wall ^CAnd I will hold the key ^Buntil the day they say the cage will fall (2x)

Verse 2(first half clean)

^AWalls of iron bolted with steel ^CTwo miles high that should^D hide how we feel ^AAnd in the city we've walled off each block ^CThis should work to segregate^D any racial melting pot

Verse 2(second hald heavy distortion)

^ALong ago we learned of the trouble ^CWhen a man steps out of his ^Dlife's plastic bubble ^ASo we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free ^CAnd now our lives are safe from any ^Dchange that

Could have come between you & me Repeat the CHORUS (2x) Solo [I'll include this, with the tab later] (played over the verse chords) Repeat the CHORUS (2x) Verse 3(first half clean)

^AThey say an artist from block 616 ^CRevived some old art just ^Dfor his own kicks ^AThey say his pictures were lude

They say his women were nude

^CSo we throw them ^Dinside

Verse 3(second half, heavy distortion)

^AWell now that artist can run, he can hide ^CBut sooner or later we'll^D throw him inside ^AI don't think the people should see Well that's not art t^Co me So we'll throw^D them inside

Repeat CHORUS(a few times actually, I'll listen again, and put the excact outro chorus here) And I will hold the key, until the day they say the cage will fall! Have fun playing, this has been my favourite song for the longest time...I hope this helps!!
