*** A Note on C ***
Charlie has also said that the C should be a C/G, i.e.
|--0--|
|--1--|
|--0--|
|--2--|
|--3--|
|--3--|
And it certainly gives the chord a fuller sound, but I don't think Matt plays the low E 
on that chord - at least not at the start.
It's down to personal choice, I think. It certainly might be useful to substitute C/G in 
***
Standard Tuning
Capo 2
CThank you for the invite
To Fdance on golden Cstreets
CLeave the broken skyline
And Fcharcoal cloud deCbris
AmI would likely Fjoin you if I weren't Cbusy
But Amtonight my conFfession list is Clong
I will sGit back, relax, and Fhold my head to the Csun
GSit back, relax, and Fhold my head to the Csun.
CWe will sing to thunder
FClap as the earth Cshakes
CHug under a hurricane
As we Fbypass the fiery Clake
AmI will read my Fscripture in DostoCevsky
AmChange my teleFvision to twenty Cthree
I will Gsit back, relax and Fwait for what's coming to Cme
GSit back, relax and Fhold my head to the Csea.
FWe will Cleave our Gsails on Ctrees
FWhile Cchariots swing Gby the Cbreeze
FLift our Clamps unGto the Cstreets
May Fall the Ckings and Gsoldiers Amsee
Our lives are Flonely enGough without destCruction
AmCalm your cares and Ffamilies
And GI will hold the morning for you
CTake the time for townships and Fclassics to be Cread
CFinding all the soft skin that will Ffit in a feather Cbed
AmLet me spread my Fpaper and sleep for Ccenturies
The Amdoor will be there Fif you choose to reCturn
I will Gsit back, relax and Fwatch the mountainCtops burn
GSit back, relax and Fwait for my voice to be Cheard.
FWe will Cleave our Gsails on Ctrees
FWhile Cchariots swing Gby the Cbreeze
FLift our Clamps unGto the Cstreets
May Fall the Ckings and Gsoldiers Csee
AmAll our lives are Flonely enGough without destCruction
AmCalm your cares and Ffamilies
And Gbe part of divCision
AmAll our lives are Flonely enGough without destCruction
AmCalm your cares and Ffamilies
And GI will hold the morning for you
And GI will hold the morning for youC
