Tune your guitar down by half a step.
The song is played in the key of B.
With the detuned tuning you basically play it as if you were playing in C.
The chords below refer to the standard chord shapes on a standardly tuned guitar.
This is a wonderful song. Ian Felice is a talented guitar player as well as songwriter
so there is more to the guitar playing than the pattern below - lots of nice hammer-ons etc.
Intro/Riff:
Eb|---------------0------------------|
Bb|---------------1------------------|
Gb|---------------0------------------|
Db|---------------0h2----------------|
Ab|--2-0----------3------------------|
Eb|------3-0-------------------------|
Verse: (other two verses follow this pattern)
(C) From the Gulf of (F) Aden
To the Marble (C) Coast
And the rolling (RIFF) hills of Oregon
(C) And the Tigris (F) river
And the wind that (C) blows
In the hanging (RIFF) bowers of Babylon
Chorus:
(C) I'm a fool for (F) giving
All that I (C) gave
To you pitiful (F) people
When the world was (G) made
And if I come back (F) down
From the stars (C) above
It's just to watch the (RIFF) mating of the doves
Verse:
I was there in Egypt when your king was slain
And it made me cry a million tears
And it formed a river in a western state
And it carved a canyon through the years
Chorus:
And I'm a fool for giving all that I gave
To you pitiful people when the world was made
And if I come back down from the stars above
It's just to watch the mating of the doves
Verse:
So you can preach of Heaven and you can warn of Hell
And you can murder millions in my name
But I gave you Heaven and the only Hell
Is the one you made from fear and hate
Final chorus (different lyrics):
You're all fools for thinking that I'm coming back
For some fiery judgement and turn the world to black
And if I come back down it's not to judge but love
And to be among the mating of the doves
