This song is quite amazing and I dug the available tabs on here. 
However, for those who like to sing and play (like myself) I thought 
I would take the time to include the lyrics of the song with the 
respective placing of the guitar part for anyone who is interested.

VERSE 1: (begins with Am before vocals begin) 
          C
who's seen jezebel?
       G              F                 Am
she was born to be the woman i would know
   C
and hold like the breeze 
       G                    F         Am
half as tight as both our eyes closed

who's seen jezebel?
        G                F                    Am
she went walking where the cedars line the road
   C
her blouse on the ground 
        G                  F
where the dogs were hungry, roaming
          
CHORUS:
      Am  C   G   F
saying, "wait, we swear 
             Am C     G   F
we'll love you more and holy
   Am   C    G   F              Am C
jezebel, it's we, we that you are for 
G F    Am
only"

          C
who's seen jezebel?

she was born to be the woman we could blame
C                        G
make me a beast half as brave
        F       Am
i'd be the same

          C

"lay here my love 
          G                 F
you're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"

who's seen jezebel?

will the mountain last as long as i can wait

how it aches to meet the day

she was certainly the spark for all i've done

the window was wide
G                F                 
she could see the dogs come running
