Good and Ready
Anthony D'Amato
He mostly plays the chords with some hammer-ons on the thirds. There's a main riff that breaks 
up the verses and is soloed over - it's a little different every time but this works well:

Capo 5
LCet me die in a heartbeat not sFlow and stCeady
LCet me die in my sleep when I'm gFood and rCeady
LFet me die on the ocean you can bGury me at sCea
LAmet me die in a coFal train you can burn my bCody
Let me die in the desert in a sea of sand
Let me die in the pleasure of a one night stand
Let me die in the forest with the first spring thaw
Let me die in the chorus with the Hallelujah
[Chorus]
CaFuse I don't want to wake up loGsing altiCtude
FI don't want to wake up whGispering the blCues
FI don't want to wake up wGhat else can I dCo
AmI don't want to wFake up if it ain't next to yCou
Let me die in my new suit I want to look my best
Let me die baby real soon I could use the rest
Let me die in a bar fight with a broken nose
Let me die in the spotlight you can pick my pose
[Chorus]
When the trFumpets souCnd (when the truFmpets souCnd)
They're gonna Flay me dCown (gonna lFay me dCown)
In a lonFg white gCown (in a lFong white gCown)
And sClowly lC/Bower me AmundGergrFound
Let me die on a Sunday for to stay out of hell
Let me die on the subway could they even tell
Let me die when the war ends you could paint my face
Let me die in New Orleans I want to march with them Saints
[Chorus]
I don't want to wake up if it ain't next to you
