  •  
    Notes: Chords and accents (where applicable) on top, note values on bottom
    (see key below). Use a pretty heavy chorus effect throughout.
  • Intro and Refrain - use light strumming; barely hit those A chords
    at the end of the first two measures. Let the open E chord ring.
    Verse - use pick-hand muting, but hit the highest note (B) sharply.
  • The "2T" indicates that it's easiest to fret the F# with your thumb.
    The (0) indicates that the open A is used here only at the very
    beginning of each Verse.
  • Chorus - use fret-hand muting by alternately releasing pressure on
    the chord. The accents indicate when the chord sounds through (i.e.,
    when it should be fretted).
  •  
    Key:
    |. = dotted quarter note
  • | = quarter note } = quarter rest
    _| = single eighth note
    |_| = eighth notes % = eighth rest
  • |=| = sixteenth notes
     
    V = big accent v = moderate accent
  •  
     
    Play with a staccato feel using the right hand to dampen the strings
  •  
    ^ indicates an accent

    Verse 2:
     
  • (Same TAB as for verse 1)
     
    Poets priests and politicians
  • Have words to thank for their positions
    Words that scream for your submission
    Noone's jamming their transmissions
  •  
    When their eloquence escapes me
    Their logic ties me up and wrecks me
