A5
Amen

[Fill 1]  (Goes over every chorus in the song directly after he sings "Amen"  It's very 
subtle and not necessary but it's still there.)

G | ---------11-(b9)------------------------------------------------------------ |

E | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 

[Fill 2]  (Goes over 2nd half of the final chorus and plays through the rest of the 
song.  Also very subtle and not necessary but it's in the studio version but sounds really good.)

Can you teach me how to love, can you show me how to live

Will you help me dig a well, is this the least that we can give
