Hey guys, play the picking pattern throug all the verses and look at the transition riffs to the chorus. In the chorus strum the chords down and sing then alone (listen to the song and get it). I actually wrote everything important down… I think I got the picking pattern but at some parts I’m not too sure… But it sounds right to me. Have fun  Intro Em e--------------------------------------------------------------------| B----------------0-----------0---------0-----------------0-----------| D-------------------0-------------0------------0--------------0------| G-----------2----------2---------------2--------------2------------2-| A-------2------------------------------------------------------------| E—0------------------------------------------------------------------| x4(Intro) x2 (verse) G E----------------------------------------------| B--------------0------0-----0-----0------------| D-----------------0------0-----0-----0---------| G-------0-----------0-------0-----0-----0------| x1 A----2-----------------------------------------| E—3--------------------------------------------| Am E--------------------0---------------------------------| B-----------------------1-------1------1------1--------| D------------2------------2-------2------2-------2-----| G-------2-----------------------------0------0-------0-| A----0-------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------| C E-------------------------------------------| B---------------1------1-----1----1---------| G----------0------0------0-----0-----0------| D------2-------------2------2----2------2---| A---3---------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------| These are the picking patterns, below you see the chords, change the picking when the chord changes. INTRO: Em VERSE:

^EmI was gripped with a bit of fear worried the ^Emone thing that I loved back when ^GI was just a kid might now ^Amnever be enough that the ^Cbody I was in might ^Cbelong to someone else Someone ^Emkinder, Someone surer, Someone innocent, young and beautiful someone ^Cpurer, that's the one I know

Em Em

^EmI was scratching at my skin hopin ^Emchanges would begin G (2nd guitar strums down 1x) but what laid beneath was blood Am(2nd guitar strum 1x) C (2nd guitar strum) well of course what the hell was I thinking of (2nd g^Cuitar) won't you take me down to the creek wash away our sins of sleep At sins of do this riff and strum with Em down at sleep (listen to the song to get it right) Riff 1: E------------| B------------| G------------| D----------3-| A------------| E---0---3----|

^EmI feel so tired as though I might not wake at all on the other ^Cside.... that's no way to go

2nd Guitar (or if you do an acoustic version I think it would be fine if you stop picking the chords and play the riff instead) Riff 2: E--------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------| G--------------------------------------------------| D-----------2----0-------------2---0---------------| A---------------------------------------2---0---2--| E—0---3---------------0----3-----------------------| CHORUS (listen to the song to get the strumming (I think the most of the time it’s down strumming. Instead of the Chords you can use power chords as well, whatever you like better.) G (Strum until you start singing, then let the chord fade out and strum again when the singing stops) Oh my dear one bathe me in your glow

^Dcut out my lonely heart and bury it in the snow

^Fnothing really means nothing is the saddest thing I know

^Cso deliver me from sin and give me rock and roll

Sing Oh Oh here x4 (Strum the whole time) G

^DGive me RocknRoll F C

The same picking like in the beginning. Strum down with the second guitar at the ends of the sentences

^EmAnd in the morning there'll be hope and in the morning there'll be light and if I sleep ^Gand dream up a system ^Ama solution ^Cto fend off perils of the night ^Emcome on in, I'll be born again born again as someone els^Ge ^EmSomeone kinder Someone surer Someone beautiful

someone purer ^C Play Riff 2 two times with those lyrics: and when I am you'll know and when I am you'll know

Strum the Chords again

^GOh might one the devil knows my name ^Dwill salvation come and wash away my pain? ^Ffor I was once a kid with a pure and innocent soul ^Cso deliver me from sin and give me rock and roll

Sing Oh Oh here x4 G D F C Give me rock and roll Give me rock and roll a pure and innocent soul and a pure and innocent soul Give me rock and roll Give me rock and roll and a pure and innocent soul and a pure and innocent soul let the last chord fade out
