A couple people have requested this song since I began posting my tabs,
but me being the slacker that I am, I put it off. Here it is now, in it's
entirety. I do hope y'all enjoy it.

During the section in which Dave sings

"Forget about the reasons, the treasons we are seeking...,"
 
they play the Intro riff #3. On the first instance of this part, 
it is ended like this:


     1   &   2   &   3   &       1   &   2   &   3   &  
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---------3---X-----3-------|---------5---X-----5-------|
A|---1-----------1-------1---|---3-----------3-------3---|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
 "..all    find     our        lives         swept   a-   

     1   &   2   &   3   &    
G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|---5-----------------------|
D|---0-----------------------|
   -way."
  
All the other times, they just return straight to the verse riff. 


******
Chorus
******


     1   &   2   &   3   &       1   &   2   &   3   &  
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
A|---------------7-----------|---------------9-----------|
D|---7-------7-------7-------|---9-------9-------9-------|
       "You seek up an   e-    -motion..."


     1   &   2   &   3   &       1   &   2   &   3   &  
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
A|---------------5-----------|---------------7-----------|
D|---5-------5-------5-------|---7-------7-------7-------|


At the end of the chorus, hold the last note during the 'ha ha' part.
Directly after that, they play this along with the horn and violin:

     1   &   2   &   3   &       1   &   2   &   3   &  
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|-------------X-------------|---------------------------|
A|-------------X-------------|-----------1-------3-------|
D|---------------------------|---5-----------------------|

     1   &   2   &   3   &       1   &   2   &   3   &  
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
A|---5-----------------------|---------------------------|
D|---0-----------------------|---------------------------|

The last note is held and faded out so that it's gone just
as you go back into the verse riff.

That basically covers the whole song. At the end of the song,
Dave sings 'Fall back again' a few more times. Stefan plays
this at the very end right after the last time Dave says that
line. This is repeated as the song fades out.



     1   &   2   &   3   &       1   &   2   &   3   &    
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---0-----3---0-0---3---0---|---0-----3---0-0---3---5---|


That's all there is to it. Enjoy.


****************
RedRocks addendum

Verse riff at the beginning is a little different:

     1   & a 2 e &   3   &       
G|---------------------------|---------------------------|
D|---------3---X-----3-------|---------3---X-----3-------|
A|---5-----------5-------5---|---5-----------5-------5---|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|

     1   & a 2 e &   3   &       
G|---------------------------|---------5---X-----7-------|
D|---------3---X-----3---5---|---7-----------7-------7---|
A|---5-----------5-----------|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|---------------------------|
