possibly one of the best songs ever and sounds awesome on an acoustic guitar (if it's played right)

there are two ways to play this:

1. by picking or
2. by strumming

however i think it's sounds good if you do a little of both!

intro:

(e)-----0---0---0---------0---0---0---------
   -------3---1---0-1-------3---1---0-1-----
   -------------------2------------------2--
   ---2-----------------2-------------------
   -0*--------------------------------------
(E)-----------------------------------------

play this riff twice but ignore the 0* once you've played it for the first time.  also at the end of the second time you play it, instead of playing the 2, begin stumming Am, then carry on as follows:

Am (from intro)
rows of houses all bearing down on me

i can see there blue hands touching me
Em
all these things into positions
                                          Am
all these things will one day swallow hole

    C      G      Am
and fade - out - again
    C      Em
and fade - out

Am
this machine will, will not communicate

these thoughts and the strain i am under
Em                                            Am
be a war child form a circle before we all go under

    C      G      Am
and fade - out - again
    C      Em     Am
and fade - out - again

C    Em   Am
oh - oh - oh - oh
C    Em (strum once and stop for a nice effect)
oh - oh

Am
cracked eggs dead birds scream as they fight for life

i can see death can see it's beady eyes
Em
all these things into positions
                                          Am
all these things will one day swallow hole

    C      G      Am
and fade - out - again
    C      Em     Am
and fade - out - again

C    Em   Am
oh - oh - oh - oh
C    Em   Am
oh - oh - oh - oh - oh

  C          Em      Am
immerse your soul in love
  C          Em      *
immerse your soul in love

                         Am (1 strum to finish)
*  (e)-----0---0---0------0-
      -------3---1---0-1--1-
      --------------------2-
      ---2----------------2-
      -0------------------0-
   (E)----------------------
