(Capo 4, Standard Tuning)

Newly recorded version of their popular live song, listen to it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR-Kox34wgk

I'm pretty sure the chords are 100% accurate, but I don't know the correct
names. The exact guitar melody that plays through the entire song is a 
slightly simplified version of what Conor plays. Listen to the song for
timing. Kind of a weird song structure with different chord patterns all
over the place. Beautiful song though. Oh and first tab so go easy ;)



These are some of of the less obvious chords.

Intro (No instruments)

In the center of the city was a statue and her twin
And together they watched over everything
Oh, they saw me when I stumbled and they watched you help me stand
I'd swear Cecilia and her sister had it all planned

Then one morning I was walking, from my window to your door
Well I nearly hit the ground with what I saw
Cecilia had been broken, while her sister had been spared
And the vandals had scattered the pieces everywhere



This is the kind of finger pick to do throughout the song
