                        -------------------------
 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.

Intro:

A5 A5 A5 A5 A5 


Verse 1:
--------
     A5              A5
an open mind, birds in flight 
     A5               A5
a broken sign, a world of light 
        A5               A5  
its head to head, some broken glass 
       A5                E5
its full of lead, its hard to pass. 

Chorus:
-------
 E5                               D5
why cant i see you for what you are, 
                                 A5
i see whats in front but not too far.

Verse 2:
--------
      A5             A5
pushing broom , digging holes
      A5                A5
a poor mans tune, reversing roles
        A5               A5
darkened streets, no more light 
      A5               E5
drunken 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:

 A3
 D3
 G2
 B1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 3:
--------
       A5                 A5
some lovely shape, a sea side view 
     A5               A5
a living mink, a kneeler pew 
         A5                 A5
a stain glassed wall, a rainbow shine 
      A5                 E5
a mirrored hall, nothing but time. 

(Chorus)

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