Alright this amazing, beautiful song was originally released on Nathaniel's debut album
known as The Wheel - Desire and Dissolving Men, but since he no longer performs as such,
and still plays the song live, I'll put it here.

Artist: The Wheel
Song: Solomon
Album: Desire and Dissolving Men

     [-0-]           [-0-]     [-0-----------------------------] I'm not sure of these

     [-2-]           [-2-]     [-0-----------------------------] but the shapes are correct.

This has a typical Nathaniel strum pattern.
Using the thumb, on the down strokes of the bass notes,
and lightly picking the upstroke with the index and ring finger.

[------3----3----3------3----3----3--]
[-------0----0----0------0----0----0-] This is pretty close for the verse
[---------------------2--------------] but I don't feel the strumming is as
[----2----2----2----3-3----3----3----] important, because the song is like
[--0-0----0----0----0------0----0----] 85% vocals.

Em7               Cadd9 (x32030@1)Verse 1: (not a 100% percent on lyrics)

Em7                          Cadd9I (x32030@1)want to be the drum (drug?), that slows me down

Em7                   Cadd9I (x32030@1)want to care to not, break through

Em7                    Cadd9I (x32030@1)want to have no sense, or meaning

Em7                      Cadd9I (x32030@1)want to start myself, anew (on you?)

Chorus: (strumming opens up a little more)

That's it. Pretty close anyway,
the picking is a little more intricate than this,
but you get the jist anyway.
