INTRO
Em       B         C         G
Guitar 2 (or organ) fades-in on last beat of intro
riff 1
E----------------------------------------------------------

G-9---11-12-8---11-8-9----------------------------------9--
D--------------------------10-12-----9-10------------------

Verse
    Em      B           C           G
      In my silence I would love to forget
    Em        B             C             G
      But restitution hasn't come quite yet
            D      
    And with one accord I keep moving forth
      Em                 C5
    I stretch my heart to heal some more
Chorus
    G                   Em         C5
     It used to be all I wanted to learn
                        G  ****
     Was wisdom trust and truth
    G                     Em      C5
     But now all I really want to learn
                        G
     Is forgiveness for you
then guitar 2( or organ) comes in again with almost the same thing as riff 1
riff 2
                       ( pitiful attempt at repeat sign )
  play what's in 1st box once, repeat it and then play the second box

Verse
Em       B              C     G
  As my seasons change I've now grown to know
Em       B                   C         G
  When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
      D
  So I wash away stains of yesterday
      Em               C5
  Then tempt my heart with love's display
(Play Chorus again)
Guitar interlude (couldn't quite call this a solo!)
It sounds approximately right to me              
                                       (again, there's that 
                                       famous repeat sign)

                        *listen for the muted 
                        slashes between each chord*
DRUM BEAT     (4 Bars)
...I think so?
         Finger-pick all this part           (Oh,come on! You must            
                                      get the idea by now!)
