    That riff is played twice before the vocals and the second guitar are
  • added. Guitar one and guitar two work together in this fashion:
     
    guitar 1(clean electric)-
  • E--------------------2-2-2-----------------------------|
    B--------------------3-3-3----------2------------------|
    G--------------------2-2-2-----4----2------------------|

  • The lyrics that go overtop of this part go like this:
     
    Madeline flows like a summer stream
  • She talks with her eyes she moves in a dream
    Sincerity grows in a pasture of green
    Madeline flows
  •  
    At this point guitar 2 plays something like this:
    fill 1-
  • E----------------3p2------0------------0---------------|
    B------------3---------------3------------3------------|
    G-------------------------------0------------0---------|
  • D-------2--------------------------0-------------------|
    A---0--------------------------------------------------|
    E------------------------------------------------------|
  • After that part, guitar one plays the same riff as in the first
    verse,while guitar 2 plays something different. The two guitars work
    together like this:
  • guitar 1-
    E--------------------2-2-2-----------------------------|
    B--------------------3-3-3-----------2-----------------|
  • G--------------------2-2-2------4----2-----------------|
    D----2h4--x---------------------4----2-----------------|

  • The lyrics for this part go like this:
     
    Abigail flies on a silver wing
  • She might let me go she might let me sing
    Prosperity lies in a mountain of things
    Abigail flies(fill 1)
  •  
    This next part I'm not exactly sure of. Generally,though, the chords
    sound like this:
  • chorus-
    Em D A
    And when you find her tell her you don't mind the way that she
  • G D Em C6
    crosses her legs she winks to let you know I only like to observe
    D Dadd9 D
  • I don't profess to know
    chords used:
    Em D A G C6 Dadd9
  • E---------2---------3-----3------0-------|
    B---------3----2----3-----1------3-------|
    G---------2----2----0-----2------2-------|
  • D---2----------2----0-----2--------------|
    A---2---------------2--------------------|
    E---0---------------3--------------------|
  • I'm pretty sure that the corresponding barre chords are played along
    with these open chords except on a guitar with a distorted tone. I'm not
    positive though, unfortunately.
  •  
    The next two verses have the same sequence as the first two.
     
  • (rhy.fig.1 and rhy.fig.2)
     
    Kira comes on like the morning sun
  • She opens her eyes she looks out for fun
    Affinity flies through a canyon of one
    Kira comes on(fill 1)
  •  
    (rhy.fig.1 and rhy.fig.3)
     
  • Tabatha walks in the pouring rain
    She closes her eyes to block out the pain
    Disparity flows in a river of shame
  • Tabatha walks(fill 1)
     
    If I remember correctly, at this point the "And when you find her..." part
  • is repeated with the same lyrics and chord progression. The only difference
    comes afterwards, during the "And in the garden of blue..." part. At that
    point, guitar 2 does something like this:
  • (fill 2)
    guitar 2- C D
    And in the garden of blue she's coming
  • E---------------------------0-----------------------2--|

    I transcribed the solo as well as I could. Some,all, or none of it may be
  • right. It does sound right though...at least to me. If you disagree, you
    know where to find me. Anyway, this is what I came up with. You'll probably
    want to flip the pickup switch to the top position. Experiment with the tone
  • until you find something that you're comfortable with.

  •  
    At this point guitar 3 ends the solo with very subtle controlled feedback. I
    didn't bother to tab it but if I remember correctly it just jumps from note
  • to note along the D string on the 17th, 15th and 14th frets(or around there
    somewhere). If you listen in the background you should be able to hear it
    but it's not really an essential part of the song.
  •  
    The rest of the song goes like this:
     
  • chorus(same chord progression)-
     
    And when you find her tell her that you mind the way that she crosses her
  • heart and says I hope to die. I guess I'll never know you I guess I'll never
    know why.
     
  • (w/fill 2)
     
    And in the garden of blue she's coming back to you and the feeling's
  • true. Oh Madeline I never knew what you were going through.
