creation, furturistic dreams we sift. Clutching violently we whisper with a liquifying cry And the deadly final answers we are surely doomed to die. {Guitar 2 Rythm 2x} Won't you help me Mr. Jesus? Won't you tell me if you can, When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man? If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold, Then I'll ask the final question, is the answer bought and sold? {Guitar 2 rythm 2x} ____________________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- -2--0-2-4-0--------2--0-2-4-0--------0--2-0-4-2------ ------------2--0-2------------2--0-2------------5-3-- ----------------------------------------------------- Guitar1 ----------------------------99-99--- ----------------------------99-99--- -8---(xx)-8--88--8----------99-99--- -9---(xx)-7--77--9----------88-88--- -9---(xx)-7--77--9----------99-99--- {Play 2x} -7---(xx)-5--55--7------------------ Guitar 2 ^^up strokes ------------------------------------ ----------------2h4-4-2------------- -4----2---2~-2h4--------4-2--------- {Play 2x with rythm above} --------4--------------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Keyboard, but a filler for Guitar 1.
