 I heard this song and since the artist is my last name i decided it would be cool if
i tabbed it out.  Pretty good song if you listen to it and play with it.

     A (x02220@1)            A9an (x02423@1)open mind, birds in flight 
     A (x02220@1)             A9a (x02423@1)broken sign, a world of light 
        A (x02220@1)             A9 (x02423@1)
its head to head, some broken glass 
       A (x02220@1)              Eits (022100@1)full of lead, its hard to pass.

        A (x02220@1)             A9darkened (x02423@1)streets, no more light 
      A (x02220@1)             Edrunken (022100@1)fools, taking the night

(Chorus)

You keep playing the verse chords during the part when he sings 
"oooh oooh oooh" until he goes higher then you play:

 E|x|
 A|3|
 D|3|
 G|2|
 B|1|
 E|x|

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There will also be a piano part during this, but keep playing the verse chords.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Does more "oooh oooh oooh" then goes into the verse.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

     A (x02220@1)             A9a (x02423@1)living mink, a kneeler pew 
         A (x02220@1)               A9a (x02423@1)stain glassed wall, a rainbow shine 
      A (x02220@1)               Ea (022100@1)mirrored hall, nothing but time. 

(Chorus)

He sings "mmmh mmmmh, mmmmh mmmmh" to the verse chords and ends on
