i was surprised to see nobody had tabbed one of the greatest songs off the greatest
of a great band! this tab lies somewhere between chords and tabs, as its goal is a balance
accuracy, ease of play, and sounding sweet on a single guitar even though the full
arrangement has like two
and a piano and some bells and god knows what else.

notes: the timing of the main riff (G 020 e0 G020) is accurate, but feel free to strum
rest of the chords out (EA and EAD) as you please. The Em carries into the beginning of
verse.

This Ccity has lost a certain holds insidGe
It A#M7feels so worn being chained here to this lifeF
I've Cbeen around and seen one hundred scenesG
Where A#M7those who dare to tread the wheel
FOne day find out what's behind that hill
notes: A# is perfectly fine too, i just have a weakness for major 7ths.
INTRO x 1 (make sure you start the intro right after you start singing "hill"--listen to
song for the timing)
VERSE 2
Spend Chalf a life deciding what went wrongG
A#M7Trying to find out what took you so longF
UnCtil you feel it's all part of some crazy schemeG
It A#M7conjures in your memories 'til
YouF discover what's behind that

INTRO x 1
VERSE 3
You Cpicked me up and we went for a driveG
A#M7Into the stained glass cavern of the nightF
You Cturn to say, your eyes fixed on the rowsG
A#M7Take me from this place I know
The Fruined landscapes that I once called

notes: on the third repetition, play the F part four times instead of two. people who
with picking the F portion might want to try simply playing D (x00210) F(13x213)
INTRO x2
notes: this time, only repeat the C half of the intro four times, and play a bit slower.

I Cdon't know what in this world is trying to saGve me
But I can A#M7feel its hand and it's guiding me in siFM7gn
From livCes I've tried to lead
To the oGne that I received
Each A#M7painted sign along the road
Will meFM7lt away in source tags and in
notes: start out a bit slower, as in the preceding intro, but gradually speed up until
reach normal tempo near the end
of the verse.
