Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
INTRO ELECTRIC I (Use lots of compression, a (muff) fuzz pedal and a wah! Oh, and the
first note for the first guitar uses a tremolo-pedal. Yeah, why not. Second guitar just
hits the Em-chord: x79987)

Heal this honest man before the night goes with the wind
Em C D
And the tide recedes exposing all his faults
(Guitar 2, playing something very similar to the acoustic intro)

VERSE II (Same as VERSE I, guitar 2 lines not displayed for clarity)
Em C D
Lift that heavy heart high above all the hungry dogs
Em C D
And the thunderous veins that run away with it all
Em C D
Feel it in your bones as the wolves surround our homes
Em C D
And the violent storm makes its way to the coast
TO CHORUS II (Same as TO CHORUS I, guitar lines not displayed for clarity)
Am(x02210) Am/G(302210) Am/F#(202210)
With or without the sun we'll grow
Am Am/G Am/F#
Rise above winter's deep hole
FREAKOUT (This part is just weird, okay, and it’s time to get compression on again, as
well as the fuzz. It’s probably best to get a buddy on the drums to help you. No, I don’t
have one either)
