Lyrics & structure:

Intro: Verse Figure x2

Verse 1 (Verse fig x4)
Dsus2     /Bb          /C
Under the carport that has no spring
Dsus2   /Bb             /C
Cement floors where the creatures ring
Dsus2    /Bb        /C
And your mother she never calls
Dsus2           /Bb              /C
Says you're the cause to all her pain

Chorus 1:
    F6        A7
But all these things
A7+         A7(II)          G
Don't carry camelot through the betrayed
   F6        A7
Oh all these things
A7+        A7(II)           G     G  G  G
Don't hold form with this stout cord & chain

Verse fig x2

Verse 2 (Verse fig x4)
Dsus2  /Bb        /C
You___ are out of sorts
Dsus2    /Bb    /C
And__ ready to retire
Dsus2   /Bb        /C
On the brink of my answer
Dsus2   /Bb         /C
I fell asleep for a little while

Chorus 2:
    F6        A7
But all these things
A7+         A7(II)          G
Don't carry Camelot through the betrayed
    F6        A7
And all these things
A7+        A7(II)         G (strum normally)
Don't hold form with this stout cord & chain
F6        A7
All these things
A7+         A7(II)          G
Don't carry Camelot through the betrayed
    F6        A7
And all these things
A7+        A7(II)          G      G  G  G
Don't hold form with this stout cord & chain

Verse fig x4 (piano solo)

Repeat Chorus 1
End on final G - let ring

Notes:
Strumming approximated, not exact.
Chords in the lyrics sync with tab. They're just meant to help with placement.
G could be G7 (320001) in the first half of the chorus

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
/ = slide (toward bridge)
\ = slide (toward nut)
x = mute string
...though you probably know all that.

Comments welcome.

Great song.
