Selling The Drama - Live

This is my take on the intro:  (the /'s represent slides) -sjv

G  G      D   Dsus4  D   G
   And to love       a   god

G  G      D   Dsus4  D   Em
   And to fear       a   flame
          Bm    C
   And to burn  A crowd that has a name

[repeat above riff and chords]

      And to right or wrong
      and to meek or strong
      it is known, just scream it from a wall

D            D            D          D
I've willed, I've walked, I've read, I've talked
D       D       D
I know, I know, I've been here before.

Em       A  Asus2 A
Hey, now we won't be raped
Em       A  Asus2 A
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that
Em       A  Asus2 A
Hey, now we won't be raped
Em       A  Asus2 A  Csus2
Hey, now we won't be scarred like that


[follow top riff and chords]

It's the song that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes em dream
And to Christ, a cross
And to me, a chair
I will sit and earn the ransome from up here

I've willed.....



...scarred like that

C  C  D  D  Em  Em  D  D  C  C

just a couple things that sounded right to me:

I thought this sounded more like:

	-3~2----

| 
|  C             C

and I'm pretty sure they insert a Dsus4 in the verse

	G	D Dsus4 D G	D Dsus4 D Em	Bm
	C	C

| and then repeats that whole first part
| 
| Then...
| I've willed I've walked...
| D           D              D           D  
| 
| Hey, Now we won't be Raped
| Em        A   Asus A    (the em and a stuff repeats 4 times then...)
| 
| Csus2

Cool!  I didn't know what was going on here.  Thanks!

| The only differing part to the pattern above is after the second
| no we won't be raped...etc instead of Csus2 it goes
| 
| C        C       D        D         Em          Em 
| 
| D        D       C        C
