              and so does the fire 
              that burned it to the ground 
              you can take away 
              all of my rights to see the day 
              but you can't take away 
              my love for the day

I'm not completely sure on the 2nd guitar parts but it sounds close enough. 
Whenever nothing specific for guitar 2 is being played, just play 
the same thing as guitar 1.  This tab only found on The Complete Ataris
