Verse:

     1.I thought I saw him on the video
       A trance was keeping him under
       I know that god is in the radio
       Ch-ch-ch checking the station
       The narcotic from me to you
       Just a caught in the medium
       I know you hear it, I hear it too
       It's everywhere that I go                           you come

Verse 2 (w/ Verse Riff):
    2.They say the devil is paranoid
      Always trying to cover
      But god was leaking through the stereo
      Between the station to station
      You believe it I know you do
      You wont admit or say so
      I know that god is in the radio
      Just repeating the slogan you come

Well, I did my best on this one and I think it's pretty accurate. The
only part I'm not too sure about is the 2nd guitar solo, but if you just
mess around with it, you should be able to get it to sound good. Here's
a little trick: if you want to play in standard tuning, just play every-
thing 4 frets lower (9th fret would be 5th fret). It is possible with 
this song. I just tab it this way because this IS the way Josh plays it.
Thanks,
