--VERSE 2: same guitar parts as verse 1. (0:38)

--Fill after verse 2 (1:01)  (...more...): same parts as in verse.

--CHORUS: picked chords in straight rhythm (1:22):

G    C      D7sus4    C
Dear shadow alive and well
C           F    G
How can the body die
    C       F#/D
You tell me everything
         G
Anything true.


--VERSE 3: same as before (1:44). Strummed chords same as verse 1

--CHORUS: as before (2:06).

--CHORUS 2: strummed chords (2:28):

Em   A
Jesse
G                 Am     C
I don't know what I have done
    F       C           F   C
I'm turning myself to a demon
G                 Am     C
I don't know what I have done
    F                   C
I'm turning myself to a demon


--Fade-out picking same chords as in chorus 2.

I've done this as best as I can. I'm aware that some of the chords may not be 
spot on, so please comment/correct if necessary.
