This also allows me to do the picking instead if I want it to sound like the original 
instead of just chords.  Using open chords on capo 3, I just pick A and D strings back and 
forth for the C and the Am and the E and A strings for the F (barred) and G.

Something like this:
D | ---5---5---5---5---5-- | 
A | -6---6---6---6---6---- | 
E | ---------------------- |  ...continue until chord change

D | ---5---5---5---5---5-- | 
A | -3---3---3---3---3---- | 
E | ---------------------- |  ...continue

D | ---------------------- | 
A | ---6---6---6---6---6-- | 
E | -4---4---4---4---4---- |  ...continue

D | ---------------------- | 
E | ---5---5---5---5---5-- | 
E | -6---6---6---6---6---- |  ...continue



I did this fast, so please let me know if I typed it up wrong.  And sorry for the lack 
of apostrophes--UG does not like them.

The Precipice by The Classic Crime
From Phoenix
----------------------------------

Verse 1:

Eb5
I wish I could play the violin
    C5
Id play til tears rolled down your cheek and chin
    Ab5
And if you sang along
Bb5                         Eb5
We could write the saddest song


Verse 2:

Eb5
Sometimes I indulge my every whim
    C5
And piece-by-piece I build the cell Im in
      Ab5
But I only stay here long
  Bb5                        Eb5
enough to write the saddest song


Chorus:

           C5                     Eb5
I dreamt I stood on a hill that I wished was a mountain
   C5                            Eb5
To look back on all my accomplishments
          C5                             Eb5
Well they must have been small because I couldnt seem to find them
     Ab5              Bb5           Eb5
so I took a leap off of the precipice


Verse 3:

Eb5
I wish I could play piano well
   C5
Id hit the keys that make your spirit swell
    Ab5
And if you sang along
Bb5                         Eb5
We could write the saddest song



*Repeat Chorus*



Bridge:

Eb5
Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not
C5
Whatever the cost

Whether it works out or not
Ab5
Ill follow you
            Bb5          Eb5
Ill follow you with my heart


*Repeat Bridge*


*Chorus is repeated here a cappella.  I like to do one strum per chord here instead.*
