Tuning - standard guitar tuning with the bottom E string

dropped to D



Note that Ben plays this with a slide on his weissenborn,

but you can still play this by using your index finger as a barre.



Intro and verse riff:

E-------------------------------------------------

B-------------------------------------------------

G-------------------------------------------------

D-------------------------------------------------

A-----------5----3--2--0-------------5--3--2--0---

D---0--0---------------------0--0-----------------





Just before the chorus - i.e. at the words "she's still alive"

play:

E----------------------------------------

B---------------------------3------------

G---------------------------2------------

D---------------------------0------------

A-----------5--3--2--0------0------------

D----0--0-------------------0------------



and hold the D chord until:

with plenty of distortion

    Eb      Bb        F       C

E--------------------------------------------------

B--------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------

D---1-------8---------3-------10-------------------

A---1-------8---------3-------10-------------------

D---1-------8---------3-------10-------------------



this is the chord progression for the chorus and the end bit,

and the sort of siren sound that Ben gets in the last chorus can

be imitated by bending the B string upwards at the 11th and 13th

frets, provided your amp is going flat out



Lyrics:

I met a girl whose heart was on the right hand side

and upon the left an angel did reside

the told her mother that she never would survive

but she kept the rhythm and is still alive



We must all have the will to live

you got to have the will to live



then i met a man who had to walk with his hands

born into a world he couldn't stand

blessed with life but cursed as a man 

still he walks taller than most of us can



We must all have the will to live

you got to have the will to live



some are born with more and some are born with less

so don't take for granted the life we've been blessed

its hard to understand that we're only a guest

and each of us shall be put to life's test



We must all have the will to live

you got to have the will to live





The chord progression for the solo goes

C   G    D, and maybe I'll tab out the solo a bit later when I find 

some spare time. Enjoy
