Ten years and no tab? I had to do it!

The chords not listed above are standard position E shape barre chords.
Basically, the verse is 1x each on the E5 and the C7M and 2x on the Gadd6.
The F leading into the chorus is 2x. The G in the chorus is [320003] the
first time and an E shape barre chord the second time for continuity's sake.
I like to play the A as [x02220].

Please correct me if you think I've got something wrong!

E5    C5         Gadd6   E5
Up there a mountain rises
       C5      Gadd6   E5
Down here an ocean dives
                  C5           Gadd6  F#5
A stranger with a head full of lead
               F5
Photographs me

                 E5             G5
Steel bars and a doctor's note
           A5
Don't give up
            Ab5     G5      F#5              F5            E5
They can plead and beg but don't let them fix your head


Outside a path to knowledge
Inside a waste of cells
A serpent with a mobile phone
Sweet talks me

Steel bars and a doctor's note
Don't give up
They can plead and beg but don't let them fix your head
