The Meaning of a Ritual by Villagers
(Tabbed by Dylan Colley)
This is the version from Villagers debut LP, Becoming a Jackal, with the unusual 
chords he uses and all.

These are the chords used:

A:   D:  Bm:  E:  C#7: C#aug7(w5):  F#m:  F#m7:  D/A:  D/Ab:
e|---0----2----2----0----4---------5------2------2--------------------|
B|---2----3----3----0----6---------6------2------2------7------7------|
G|---2----2----4----1----4---------4------2------2------7------7------|
D|---2----0----4----2----6---------6------4------2------7------7------|
A|---0---------2----2----4---------4------4------4------x------x------|
E|------------------0---------------------2------2------5------4------|

The song comes in with organ, but it's then joined by acoustic guitar. I'm just 
going to call the C#aug7(w5) the C#aug7 from here on in:

Intro: A D
       A (x02220@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D

A (x02220@1)       DMy (xx0232@1)love is selfish
      Bm (x24432@1)     A (x02220@1)      EAnd (022100@1)I bet that yours is too
C#7 (x4342x@1)        C#aug7   C#7 (x4342x@1)       F#m (244222@1) F#m7What (131141@2)is this peculiar word called truth
Bm (x24432@1)  D/A (x00232@1) D/Ab

A (x02220@1)        DMy (xx0232@1)love is selfish
       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1)    EAnd (022100@1)it cares not who it hurts
C#7 (x4342x@1)                C#aug7  C#7 (x4342x@1)  F#m (244222@1) F#m7It (131141@2)will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
        Bm (x24432@1)         D/A (x00232@1)     D/Ab
For the meaning of a ritual so habitual and cursed

A (x02220@1)        DMy (xx0232@1)love is selfish
       Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1)     EHow (022100@1)it separates the earth
         C#7 (x4342x@1)      C#aug7   C#7 (x4342x@1)        F#m (244222@1) F#m7It (131141@2)takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt
        Bm (x24432@1)           D/A (x00232@1)           D/Ab
For the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
             C#7 (x4342x@1)       C#aug7 C#7 (x4342x@1)    F#m (244222@1)F#m7They've (131141@2)been twisted by a hollow kind of pain
         Bm (x24432@1)            D/A (x00232@1)      D/Ab
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, coz

A (x02220@1)        DMy (xx0232@1)love is selfish
    Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1)  EAnd (022100@1)remembers everything
         C#7 (x4342x@1)            C#aug7 C#7 (x4342x@1)     F#m (244222@1) F#m7Like (131141@2)the first time it was moved enough to sing
       Bm (x24432@1)            D/A (x00232@1)             D/Ab
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
