Saw you hadn't had this answered so quickly did it in my lunchbreak.

A classic from Rez/Resurrection Band. Tuning varies depending of the recordings of it. Live Glenn downtunes his guitar by a full step IIRC.
The intro uses an arepeggio which I'll let you figure out. The C9 offers that added tension to the song but the becomes a normal C in the heavier bits.
The Electric Guitar (Stu Heiss) offers a lot of power chords. The trickiest bit is Riff a which will take you a while to master. It gets simplified in the heavier
moments of the song (see XX allbum).


Riff a:
e----------------
B----------------
G----------------
D----------------
A--3p-2p-0-------
E-----------3p-0-


Intro and verse
Em | C9 | G | Am | Riff a|

In the words of his mama, "He was my only son."
In the words of his sister, "He was on the run."
In the words of his girl, "How could it end this way?"
In the words of his daddy, "Well he never had much to say."


Pre-Chorus:
(C) D Em Em Em
C D Em C D Em
Goodbye Kathy and goodbye Mom, there's voices in my head
C D Em C G D
Angel dust and tortured dreams say I'd be better dead
Em C G D Em C G D
You, you chased the shadows because your hopes and dreams have been lost to the night

Em | C(9) | G | Am | Riff a|
Hey, Billy, did you hear the news?
Johnny's gone for good
They say his mama's all broke up
They found him in the woods
Kathy just couldn't understand
Sheriff, he just looked tired
Some will play and some will pay
And Johnny played with fire

Johnny's dead and buried now out on the edge of town
Drove by his grave the other day, that's when the fear came down
I hate the night that took his life, but now it's haunting me
I may be young, may be confused but I gotta be free

God, are You there, can You hear me now?
Show me how to hope
Lost in the dark on a dead end road, please save me from myself

Lord, You, You took the shadows - all my fears and doubt and brought me out of the night
Lord, You , You take the shadows - give me hope and love and turn my darkness to light
