LAYOUT

For much of the song, there is a second guitar playing this funky riff.
The chord symbols I put on the parts above correspond to which riff is playing:

 (G)
B-6-x-x-6-x-x-6-x-x-6-x-x-6-x-6-x-
G-7-x-x-7-x-x-7-x-x-7-x-x-7-x-7-x-

 (C)
B-11-x-x11-x-x11-x-x11-x-x11-x11-x-
G-12-x-x12-x-x12-x-x12-x-x12-x12-x-

 (D)
B-13-x-x13-x-x13-x-x13-x-x13-x13-x-
G-14-x-x14-x-x14-x-x14-x-x14-x14-x-


piano intro, then:

You part the waters			(riff 1a) 2x
The same ones that I'm drowning in	(riff 1b) 4x
You lead your casual slaughters
And I'm the one who helps you win.  	(riff 1d) 1x, funky guitar starts HERE

You've got your grand piano.		(riff 2a) 5x, *no funky guitar*
You don't even play piano.  		(riff 2b) 2x, funky guitar starts again.
I'm the one who plays piano.  		(riff 2a) 2x
You don't even play piano.  		(riff 2c) 1x
You part the waters

(riff 3a) 3x, then play G5	E-3--
				B-3--

You part the waters			(riff 1a) 2x
The same ones that I'm thirsty for.  	(riff 1b) 4x
You invite your friends to tea
But when it's me you lock the door.    	(riff 1d)

You've got your credit cards		(riff 1a) 2x ( parenthesis parts start here )
And you thank your lucky stars.  	(riff 1c) 2x
But don't forget the ones who foot the bill.

(riff 3b) 1x

(riff 4a) 2x *no funky guitar*
(riff 4b) 2x
(riff 4c) 2x funky guitar starts again
(riff 4d) 1x

weird string interlude, then:

You've got your grand piano.		(riff 2a) 5x, *no funky guitar*
You don't even play piano.  		(riff 2b) 2x, funky guitar starts again.
I'm the one who plays piano.  		(riff 2a) 2x
You don't even play piano.  		(riff 2c) 1x
You part the waters

(riff 3a) 3x, then play G5	E-3--
				B-3--
