The Weakerthans - Prescience of Dawn

Hey, I basically just put this over here from the forums, for more public use.  All
to Zach on the Weakerthans fan board, http://theweakerthans.tk/. Have fun. :)

Begins with a build up on B: one guitar strums once, the other repeatedly, then it?s
chords: G5 A5 B5. I think you hit the open the open G on all of these chords but its really
and that just doesn?t sound too good an acoustic)
With this riff played over it: I didnt put all the cool electric noisy bits cause it
doesn?t work on acoustic)
(INTRO RIFF)

'That one dream of hardware stores and checkered floors...'
2 guitars playing  basically the same chords, but these probably aren?t the correct
but I can fix that next time I see them live :)
(CHORUS)                   one guitar holds the chord while one plays the lil' riff.
E|--------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------7^7----------|
G|------------------------------9-7-6---|
D|-4--5--7--9-7-4--5--7-----------------|

A|-5--5--7--9-7-5--5--7--5--------------|
E|-2--3--5--7-5-2--3--5--3--------------|

then play INTRO RIFF
then the VERSE again (mother, mother may I cry)
then CHORUS (these documents..)

the bridge is open chords: (four words stumble for the microphone)
G D A   D A G

and the solo is played over the same chords
