This is really vague, but I just started working on it so bear with me
Intro:
Trey does a wierd lick, something like one of these, over an A chord, REAL fast:
A |: :|
E-0---------------------- ----------------------------
B-0---------------------- ----------------------------
D-6---------6-------6---- ------6-4-0-----------------
G-7---5-7-5---5-7-5------ ----------------------------
A-0---------------------- ---0------------------------
E-0---------------------- ----------------------------
Then this for an 8 count...
E---12----------------------
B---10----------------------
G---11----------------------
D---12----------------------
A---------------------------
E---------------------------
... Repeat
Then he hits these HARMONICS (not notes):
E------------------------------
B----5----7-------7--5----7----
G-------7----5--7-------7---5--
D-----7-------7-------7--------
A------------------------------
E------------------------------
Then (of course) ... each four quick times ( listen to a recording)
By this point the band has kicked in with a G chord,
C the second time
E-10--8---7--5--3--2--0---------------
B-12--10--8--7--5--3--1---------------
G-0~~~~~~let-ring---------------------
D-0~~~~~~let-ring---------------------
A-------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------Each time you hit the B and E strings you should hit the G string
too but let the D string ring

E------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--10---10--11--10------12---12-13-12----15--15---13----14--14--14-------------
G--10---10--10--10------12---12-12-12----14--16---12--15--15--15--.....--------
D--8----8---8---8-------10---10-10-10----16--17---14---------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the beginning...
Then, build up on an A chord...
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along,
Chanting words from a Psalm...
(Play same open A chord from beginning of song)
As he saw his life run away from him
Thousands ran along,
Chanting words from a song...
(This lick gets played where it says *duh* "Lick")

B--------------------------
G--6^(7)--6-4-6-4-----6----
D-----------------5-5------
A------------------------7-
E--------------------------
A G
Please me, have no regrets (lick)
A G

A G A

Em
We follow the lines going south
(Repeat first two, building up on "came from the.."
A
Came from the.. came from the..
G D A (nc) Em
Baby's mouth......... we follow the lines going SOUTH!
Then comes a series of Jammings done on Em...

G-(0)------0----0----0----0-------
D-(2)-----7----5----4----2--------

Then the lights go up and Trey wails a D > Dsus...(listen to
a recording for timing info..
E-2->-3-
B-3->-3-
G-2->-2-
D-0->-0-
A-------

Then back to the Em .. building up (I think he slides the B and E
notes of the Em Chord (second fret, strings 4+5) up to build things
up into the D>Dsus...
Back to

Then the descending G line, then some chords which I haven't quite figured out yet,
... it ends on a D chord.
I know this is very ... incomplete. Please, people -- help me with this one! :)
