-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ben
Email: bentappe@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard Eadgbe
In the song there are 2 guitars, but I tabbed it for only one. and without using a capo
on the Second fret.
I know this isnt a 100% correct tab. So instead of leaving a bad rating I would appreciate
any corrections to make it Perfect.
i did not tab the intro all credt goes to:

from 1:23 - 1:52 i like to repeat the intro finger-picking riff,
But in the Album version he plays chords.

I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh
C
These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart

Oh oh oh oh
F G
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh oh
"If I could find a way..." "I'd run away..."
