This song is a great song, really easy too, the majority of the song is just Am and E.
only hard bit is trying to fit his lyrics to the guitar and you'll have to figure out
to put his little runs in too (its too hard to try and explain where they go).
If this tab sucks please tell me, but im pretty sure it's right.
Enjoy xx

VERSE
Simply Am, E repeated
These are put before some of the chord changes, the song sounds fine without them.

Am AmMaj7 Am7 G Gm Bb Fmaj7 Am
AmAnd the mercy seat is waiting
AmMaj7And I think my head is burning
Am7And in a way I'm yearning
To be dGone with all this weighing of the trGmuth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tBbooth
And anyway I told the Fmaj7truth
And I'm not afraid to dAmie.
- The last Am of the chorus also becomes the first Am of either the verse or the next
its not hard to figure out.
