C  x30030
G  x20030
A# x10030
basically high E is always open and dont play low E at all.
i didnt bother to look up the actual chord names because that would have meant extra work.
yeah... three notes isnt much of a riff but i didnt know what else to call it.
D                                  riff1
Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?
                              riff1
Did he come to save? Did he come at all?
          riff2     C           riff2 B
And if I dried his feet with my dirty hair,
[this pattern gets repeated for the whole song basically. the few times when it breaks 
to repeat lines and such, i just play D.]
They say they don't know when, but a day is gonna come,
when there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun.
It will just go black, it will just go back
to the way it was before.
I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride,
and every man wanted her, yeah and so did I.
Yeah, and so did I. But she up and died
in a fit of vanity.
Now men with purple hearts carry silver guns.
And they'll kill a man for what his father's done.
But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit.
I'm not him.
And you think I need some discipline, well, I had my share.
I've been sent to my room. I've been sat in a chair.
And I held my tongue. I didn't plug my ears.
No, I got a good talking to.
Now I don't know why, but I still try to smile
when they talk at me like I'm just a child.
Well, I'm not a child. No, I am
much younger than that.
And now I've read some books and I've grown quite brave.
If I could just speak up, I think I would say
that there is no truth. There is only you
and what you make the truth.
So I'll just sing my songs, and I'll pass a hat.
Then I'll leave your town and I'll never look back.
No, I don't look back because the road is clear
and laid out ahead of me.
Now I'll get home, I'll meet my friends at our favorite bar.
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts.
