Submitted by: Ellis
The song itself alternates between 2 chords:

 Em     G(+)
e-0     e-3
a-2     a-2
d-2     d-0
g-0     g-0
b-0     b-0
e-0     e-0(3)   I do not play the E-string, neither does Rich I think, but
its
(optional).

INTRO- Em G(+) Start by just playing the E & A strings, and gradually add
more strings                 till a full strum is accomplished.

VERSE

  Em           G(+)
See the water break my hand

  Em            G(+)
No-one knows my name

  Em          G(+)     Em G(+)
I'm not in demand.


  Em                   G(+)
Signs are right, the sighs are here

  Em              G(+)
Who needs Virtual World

  Em             G(+)
When I can see it now

   Em         G(+)      Em G(+) Strum fff 4 times, then f for a retuen to
the verse
I can see it now, oh now, oh now, now

   Em        G(+)
No-one goes, no-one cares

  Em                  G(+)
No-one seen it anywhere.


CHORUS

 A                    Am
She's breathing into lone dead stars

 A    
Have you ever seen it

 Am
I ain't seen nothing at all


Run into verse with the same Em G(+) intro.
Same chords for the rest of the Verses/Chorus


Come see the water break my fall
No-one knows no-one comes
Have you ever seen the book?
The one on my help
The one entitled self death, self death
How to earn a million pounds
I can see it now, oh the hearse

She's breathing down a hole in my head
In the dirty half-light
Where time means nothing at all

I'm calling out to someone
Anyone who'll have me
Does anybody need me?
Does anyone know how to cry?
What happens when i go?
What happens when it snows?
I bet you could if you want'd to end

CHORDS FOR THE CHORUS:

 A        Am
e-0      e-0
a-0      a-0
d-2      d-2
g-2      g-2
b-2      b-1
e-0      e-0

SOLO

The solo is split into 3 parts (by me for simplicity)

PART 1

e---------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------12-10-10/7----------------------12-10-10/7    Follow
on to part 2 d-------------11-11-9-------------------------11-11-9-----------
g--7-h9-9-9-9--------------------7-h9-9-9---9-------------------
b-----------------------------------------8---------------------
e---------------------------------------------------------------

PART 2

e------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g--9-6-6 (repeated 5 times)-12-9-9 (5 times)-9-6-6 (5 times)-12-9-9 (5 times)--
b-----------------------------------------------------------------------------8
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THEN REPEAT PART 1, THEN PART 3.

PART 3 (to finish)

e------------------------
a------------------------
d------------------------
g--9/----------9/14-14-12       repeat 3 times
b-----14-14-12-----------
e------------------------

You can then end the song by a few PART 1s, or go through the whole solo
again.  I like it so much i go over the solo a few times.

The notation "/" is just a slide.
