When playing his Cadd9 chords, he sometimes leaves his index finger on the second fret of the A string
while hammering on to the 3rd fret with his middle finger because he is not playing the D string anyway.
Chords played as follows to allow for hammer-ons:

[Verse 1]
G See the Em7killer was a coCadd9ward
G Dark Em7deeds in dark Cadd9towers
G So he flEm7ed when they Cadd9came
G Blowin' brEm7ass, carrying Cadd9chains
[Verse 2]
G They wanna Em7lock him in the Cadd9dark
G They wanna Em7kill what's in his Cadd9heart
G And they left the Em7town to hunt him Cadd9down
G they left one Em7man to hold it Cadd9down
[Verse 3]
G But when they get Em7back he's in the Cadd9throne C6sus2 A7sus4
G Looks like the Em7killer’s fucking Cadd9clone
G Says he's got iEm7deas of his oCadd9wn
G But there's one Em7thing he’d kill to Cadd9know
[Verse 4]
G See there's a Em7hero in the Cadd9crowd
G And his Em7heart starts beating Cadd9loud
G Says the Em7killer took his Cadd9friend
G And decides that Em7this is where it Cadd9ends
[Verse 5]
G So that night the Em7king’s walkin the Cadd9tower
G His eyes lit Em7up with all the Cadd9power
G And the hero is Em7ghosting by the Cadd9guards
G And his heart is Em7carrying a Cadd9charge
[Verse 6]
G He stabs him Em7in his cunning Cadd9heart
G The scream tore Em7sea and sky aCadd9part
G So you want Em7fears? We’ve still got Cadd9several
G Least the killer's Em7dancing with the Cadd9devil Cadd9 Cadd9
Cadd9 And the hero did it
[Verse 7]
G For days when you Em7don't know if the Cadd9moon will even come, and then it
G Lays down and I'm Em7telling you man it's Cadd9sweet when it does and when I
G Think of Em7you I think of Cadd9spirit defined
I think of Gall the love that we Em7shared in a Cadd9very dark time
[Verse 8]
G So the hero Em7did it for the Cadd9summer
G For long Em7days with that Cadd9sun in your hair
G For fiEm7res and familyCadd9
G For the Em7phrase "Don't ever Cadd9leave me" Cadd9 Cadd9
