This is very ironic.  I was just working on this song about a week
ago. The tuning is dropped a half step as usual.

verses 1 & 3
1:|------------|--------------|-------------|-------------------|    
2:|--------5-7-|--------5-----|---------5-7-|-------5-17^19^17-*|
3:|----5-7-----|-----5----7-5-|-----5-7-----|-----5------------*|
4:|5-7---------|-5-7----------|-5-7---------|-5-7---------------|

post-verse 1 (Down in a hole and i dont know...)

1:--------------|----------------|
2:--------5-----|---------5-5----|
3:----------5-5-|------------5-5-|
4:-5--5-5-------|-5--5-5---------|

the chorus is similar to the above

chorus (down in a hole, feeling so...)

1:--------------------------|
2:------------5-5-5--------*|
3:--------5^7-------5--5-5-*|
4:-5--5-5-------------------|

  I'd like to (every number represents a word)
1:-------|
2:-------|
3:-------|
4:-5-3-0-|

Fly
                   
3:-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----|
                   |___|(actuly just played faster than others.)
                     3 
4:-----------------------3-3-|

but my wings...

4:-5-5-3-1-0-1-|

(eche note represents a syllable starting with "my" and ending with "de" of
denied.)

part played while the end of the word "denied" is held out.  Leads into verse.

1:-------------|---------------|-------------|------------------|
2:---------5-7-|-------5-4-----|---------5-7-|-------5-17^19^17-|
3:-----5-7-----|-----5-----7-5-|-----5-7-----|-----5------------|
4:-5-7---------|-5-7-----------|-5-7---------|-5-7--------------|

verse 2

1:-----------------------------------------|
2:---------------------7--7-7--7--5-------*|
3:-----------5--5-5--5--------------5-5--5*|
4:-5--5-5--5-------------------------------|

then post verse, chorus, and the rest is played again.

Then there's verse three which is just a combination of the first verse and
the "denied" part (written just before verse 2)

then U play all that other stuff in between.

Outro is verse 1 played once thru and then the first three bars. the last
bar is replaced w/ the following.

1:-----------------||
2:-(7)^5-----------||
3:-----(7)^5--5----||
4:---------------5-||

tell me what U think.
