This will be the begginning verse, which is a pretty simple 2 chord
riff, it doesn't take much work.  Listen to the CD for proper
strumming patterns.  It's played a bunch of times then launches into
this...

---5---5---5---5---5---5-----------------------------------------------
---5---5---5---5---5---5-----------------------------------------------
---3---3---3---3---3---3------AND SO ON BACK TO THE VERSE RIFF --------

Then the re-visited verse riff goes right into the chorus...

---0-----3----2----0----0-0-0------------------------------------------
---0-----3----3----2----2h3-0------------------------------------------
---x-----0----2----2---------------------------------------------------
---2-----0----0----2---------------------------------------------------
---2-----2---------0---------------------------------------------------
---0-----3-------------------------------------------------------------

You can go a little crazy with these chords or play the power chords
shown below.

That's about it...there's of course the solo, which is beyond my
patience, but the rhthym section is the verse and pre-chorus.

There's also a nifty way to play the song on acoustic as follows
The verse (CD FOR STRUMMING)...   The pre chorus

--0--------------------------------3---1--2--3-------------------------
--3--------------------------------3---1--2--3-------------------------
--4--------------------------------4---2--3--4-------------------------
--2--------------------------------5---3--4--5-------------------------
--5--------------------------------5---3--4--5-------------------------
--0--------------------------------3---1--2--3-------------------------

The chorus is identical to the chord version above, but there's a
nifty lead riff that sounds good acoustic that can bridge into the
chorus as follows...

---0-0-0-------------0-------------------------------------------------
---3/5-3-------------0-------------------------------------------------
--------2h4-0--------0-------------------------------------------------
---------------0/2---2-------------------------------------------------
---------------------2-------------------------------------------------
-------------------0---------------------------------------------------
And that goes right into the normal chorus.

Well folks, that's my first presented tab, I hope you dig it...the only
thing left is the lyrics as follows

Verse:
I am the man in the box
Covered in my shit

Pre chorus:
Won't you come and save me
Save me

Chorus:
Feed my eyes
Can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ
Deny your maker
He who tries
Will be wasted
Feed my my eyes
Can you sew them shut

Verse 2:
I am the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit!

Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus out.
