incredibly hard for one)

  (Spoken...) Stand up straight		
	      Look through the haze
					I begin to walk
					Through the maze
	      Here they come
	      They're all up on me
				     And I'm dead to sin					Like some kind of zombie
----
OK, here is how the first bit goes together:

Intro/Rhy. Fig 1 

Rhy. Fig. 2 x2 (= Part A x2, Part B x2, A x2, B x2)
    Except do it w/o words until chorus- (you'll see) 

F# (once and fermata)

Verse 1
--------
C		  G
I must have been  confused or vain
F	    G	       C
to let this evil in my brain
C	      G
Lord, did I   enjoy the change
F	 G		A
that you made inside my heart

Pre-Chorus
----------
F   G         A       F       G   A
Oh, here they come    but I'm not afraid
F       G       A       F   G       A
there's no temptation     I can't evade

Chorus
----------
See Rhythm Fig. 2!!!

You should play the part above the words as you
 say them
This is the order:
"Stand up straight  Look through the haze 
 I begin to walk  Through the maze  Here they come
  They're all up on me   And I'm dead to sin like 
 Some kind of zombie" 

Chorus Part II
---------------
G          G#          A
I hear you speak and I obey     (Some kind of zombie)
G         G#           A
I walked away from the grave    (Some kind of zombie)
G      G#         A
I will never be afraid          (Some kind of zombie)
F         E     A
I gave my life away

Verse 2
--------
C           G            F       G                A
I'm obliged  and obey    I'm enslaved to what you say

Solo
-------
(only uses 1st and 2nd strings)
The 2nd guitar plays some other chords in here...
I didn't include them for this arrangement.						 

E---12-10----10----12-10---------12-10----10--13-15-----
B---------13-------------13-10---------13---------------
						(trill)
						  |	
E---12-10----10----12-10---------12-10----10--15-17----
B---------13-------------13-10---------13--------------

Those are all the pieces- the finished product goes like
 so:				
1. Intro  2. Verse 1  3. Pre-Chorus  4. Chorus
5. Chorus Part II  6. Verse 2  7. Pre-Chorus
8. Chorus  9. Chorus Part II  10. Solo
11. Rhy. Fig. 1  12. Rhy. Fig. 2  13. Chorus
14. Chorus Part II (repeat and build to finish on A 
chord with word 'away' and let it die out)
