i was surprised to see nobody had tabbed one of the greatest songs off the greatest 
of a great band!
this tab lies somewhere between chords and tabs, as its goal is a balance between 
ease of play,
and sounding sweet on a single guitar even though the full arrangement has like two 
and a piano
and some bells and god knows what else.

INTRO x 2

   C                 Em
e||----0-------0---------0-------0---------------------||
B||-------------------------1--------------------------||
G||-020-020-020-020---020-020-020-020------------------||
D||2-2---2---2--222--2-2---2---2--222------------------||
A||3-3---3---3--333--2-2---2---2--222------------------||
E||------------------0-0---0---0--000------------------||

notes: the timing of the main riff (G 020 e0 G020) is accurate, but feel free to strum 
rest of the chords out
(EA and EAD) as you please. The Em carries into the beginning of the verse.

VERSE 1 x2

   C       G       A#M7    F
e||--------x-------------------------------------------||
B||1-------0-------------------------------------------||
G||0-------0-------7-------2---------------------------||
D||x-------0-------7-------x---------------------------||
A||3-------x-------8-------3---------------------------||
E||--------3-------6-------1---------------------------||

     C                                  G
This city has lost a certain holds inside
   A#M7                                         F
It feels so worn being chained here to this life
     C                                      G
I've been around and seen one hundred scenes
      A#M7
Where those who dare to tread the wheel
F
One day find out what's behind that hill

notes: A# is perfectly fine too, i just have a weakness for major 7ths.

INTRO x 1 (make sure you start the intro right after you start singing "hill"--listen to 
song for the timing)

VERSE 2

      C                                   G
Spend half a life deciding what went wrong
A#M7                                    F
Trying to find out what took you so long
  C                                              G
Until you feel it's all part of some crazy scheme
   A#M7
It conjures in your memories 'til
   F
You discover what's behind that

CHORUS x3 (only sing the first time)

   Aadd9   Em      F       G
e||3-------3-------3-------0 or 3---------------------||
B||0-------0-------1-------0--------------------------||
G||2-------0-------2-------0 or 2---------------------||
D||2-------2-------x-------0--------------------------||
A||0-------2-------3-------x--------------------------||
E||0-------0-------1-------1--------------------------||
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/and-you-will-know-us-by-the-trail-of-dead/254309.html ]
Aadd9  Em   F     G
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill

notes: the alternate G versions all sound pretty good, so choose whatever you think is best.

INTRO x 1

VERSE 3

    C                                   G
You picked me up and we went for a drive
A#M7                                      F
Into the stained glass cavern of the night
    C                                       G
You turn to say, your eyes fixed on the rows
A#M7
Take me from this place I know
    F
The ruined landscapes that I once called

CHORUS x4 (only sing the first time)

Aadd9  Em   F     G
hoooooooooooooooooome

BRIDGE x3

   D            F
e||--0-----0----3-0---3-0------------------------------||
B||---31----31--1--31-1--31----------------------------||
G||2-----2------2-----2--------------------------------||
D||0-----0------x-----x--------------------------------||
A||0-----0------3-----3--------------------------------||
E||-------------1-----1--------------------------------||

notes: on the third repetition, play the F part four times instead of two. people who 
trouble with picking the
F portion might want to try simply playing D (x00210) F(13x213)

INTRO x2

notes: this time, only repeat the C half of the intro four times, and play a bit slower.

VERSE 4

for the last verse, you can change the chords to:

   C       G       A#M7    FM7
e||3-------3-------8-------3---------------------------||
B||1-------0-------6-------1---------------------------||
G||0-------0-------x-------x---------------------------||
D||x-------0-------7-------2---------------------------||
A||3-------x-------8-------3---------------------------||
E||--------3-------6-------1---------------------------||


  C                                            G
I don't know what in this world is trying to save me
          A#M7                                   FM7
But I can feel its hand and it's guiding me in sign
        C
From lives I've tried to lead
        G
To the one that I received
     A#M7
Each painted sign along the road
       FM7
Will melt away in source tags and in

notes: start out a bit slower, as in the preceding intro, but gradually speed up until 
reach normal tempo near the end
of the verse.

CHORUS

Aadd9  Em   F     G
coooooooooooooooooodes
Aadd9  Em   F     G
coooooooooooooooooodes
Aadd9  Em   F     G
coooooooooooooooooodes
Aadd9  Em   F     G

D (x00210)
