A5                    G5 
I've been looking to find you 
           F5                   E5 
but it's a little too late too soon 
A5                 G5 
I've been looking far and out but the 
F5                E5 
spirits are your doom 

(strumming again) 
E5          E5 (sounds best if pinky is on 2nd fret) 
in you     in you 
 
*bridge* 

All right, I have minimal idea as to what is happening 

here.  A lot of it is bass, and the bass 

boom-boomboom-boom part can be best recreated by playing 

the low E string.  The chords played up until then 

might be * Am C D11 *, but I'm not sure.  Suggestions 

welcomed!  =)

I got the hangman, I got Milagro

E5            F5

E5            F5 
so shed your skin baby 
E5      F5      (stop) 
let it through 
                A5 C5 G5 F5 
come on over now       Come on over baby 
A5               C5 
you tell me it's holy holy 
G5                    F5 
I don't know what it is, come on over child 
A5                    C5 
I want to call it the fullness of time 
G5                      F5 
But I don't know if it is 

come on over now 
A5       C5          G5          F5 
hey holy console me some power controls me 
F5 (hold) 
come on over baby
