Verse 1 (Guitar 2 only)

C                          D
 So, so you think you can tell

            Am                     G
Heaven from hell, blue skies from pain?

                       D                      C
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail,

               Am                          G
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell

Verse 2(Guitar 1, drums and bass come in)

                         C                      D
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

               Am                         G
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?

                  D                   C
Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange

                      Am                        G
A walk on part in the war for a lead roll in a cage?

 Year after year.

D                                              C

Then guitar 2 accompanies guitar 1, ie. both play the intro one more time both ritarding
and finishing on a single G strum.

Your Corrections


ok in the intro in my opinoin it sounds better to leave out the 2 that is before 0-g 2-d 0-d ... but then leave it for the second time u play it .. thats how i was taught and its sounds just like the song

I'm pretty sure this is how you play the second part of the guitar 2 solo in the intro... I could be wrong though.
