*For this next part here, the electric guitar fades in semi-quickly (beginning right
the word “creation”) and is ¾ full volume by the words “You are
You are here!” which are starting the next stanza.
1:47 – “..creation will proclaim” (C major chord, D shape) e|-(12)--------------------------------------------------| B|--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13------| G|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12------| D|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------|
I left the E note (12th fret, high E string) in parentheses and only typed it once
it’s really an optional note. To get the full C major triad, you have to add the major
which is that E note on the 12th fret. To get the fuller sound do that, but if you have
of distortion (which you shouldn’t!) on don’t even bother worrying about it.
1:56 – “You are God, You are God..” (G major triad, root position) e|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---| B|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---| G|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---| D|-(12)--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*At around 1:56, there is a faint reprise of the verse part (see part labeled
2:” tabbed up above) going on under the G major triad. I suggest having a second guitarist
that, if you have one that is.
Pre-chorus 2:02 e|--1-1-1---------------1-1-1-----15-15-15-----| B|--------5-5/13-13-13--------5-5/13-13-13-----| G|---------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| Chorus: e|--12-12-12-12-------15-15--12-12-12-12-------17-17---| B|--------------15-15--------------------15-15---------| G|-----------------------------------------------------| x3 D|-----------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| Chorus (cont.) e|12-12-12-12-------15-15-12-12-12-12------------------15--------15--------| B|------------15-15-------------------15-15-15-15-15-13--13-15-13--13-15-13| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chorus (double cont.) e|15--------15-------------------------------------------------------------| B|--13-15-13--13~~~--------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bridge: e|-13~~-----12~~----10~~--------15~~------13~~------12~~----10~~-----------| B|-----(13)-------8---------/13------(13)------(13)-------8----------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
*Notes in parentheses are not actually played in the studio version, but can be played
sound absolutely great.
