This song is tabbed for two guitars. The First Guitar is not capoed (jim)
plays Riff 1. and Plays the Choruses As G# E B F# and various other fills.
as well as the solo.

The Second Guitar (martin) is capoed at the fourth fret and doesn't play
Riff 1., but plays riff 2. for the bridge. During the Choruses play chord
formations Em C G D relative to the capo.

I've tryed to mark which guitar is playing what as clearly as possible.

Intro: Guitar 1. Only

Riff 1: Play 2x for intro

nothing changes but the colour changes you

Verse 2: Play Riff 1. throughout

have you ever built your house
in a town called pissitaway
you were dreaming of marinas
with a crown you were king for a day
saw a man with a reason any season
got a bird in his hand
