This Is How The World Will End

Hey guys!  Great some here from an awesome unknown band...this is the best I can come up
for playing this song (I think that there must be two guitars playing at the same time
the recording or the guitar is in a weird tuning, but I promise this works well).  PS I 
up those "G" chords' names to make this easier to read.

Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (this is just to play along with the recording, sounds fine in standard)

Chords:
G:                3x0033
G2:              3x0233
G3:              3x0433
Cadd2:        x30033
Em7:            022033
Dadd4/F#:    200233
D:                 x00232

note:  the easiest way to play those G chords is to play the low E string with your
your not comfortable doing that then I would suggest just playing G G2 G G2 for the intro/verse

Intro:

G  G2  G3  G2

VERSE 1:
              G                     G2
When the dollar made with blood is spent
                G3                                G2
When an enemy can't become a friend
                  G                         Cadd2
When the better man won't lend a hand
         Em7                   D/F#      G
Baby this is how the world will end


When a day of hope is a rarity,
Or a diplomat hasn't time to see
That a child lost is a true offense,
Baby, this is how the world will end.

CHORUS:
          Cadd2           G
Bring a chair up to the table.
          Cadd2           G
Bring a message to the crowd.
           Cadd2                  D        Em7          Cadd2
     D
Where's a common trust to deliver us from the wretched and the proud?
           Cadd2          G
Sing a tune about the promise.
           Cadd2           Em7       D
Speak on that which we depend.
            G                         Cadd7
And if a certain light don't shine again,
       Em7                D/F#        G
Baby, this is how the world will end.

VERSE 2:
When the poorest kid is fending for himself,
Or the widow cries, but she gets no help.
When we know what's true, but we still pretend,
Baby, this is how the world will end.


CHORUS


SOLO


CHORUS
Bring a chair up to the table.
Bring a message to the crowd.
Where's a common trust to deliver us from the wretched and the proud?
Sing a tune about the promise.
Speak on that which we depend.
Now let that certain light come shinin' then,
Baby, we could change the world again.

                  G                                     Cadd2
But if that certain light don't shine again,
          Em7                    D/F#          G
Baby, this is how the world will end.


Enjoy!  And definitely go out and see the Elms if you get a chance, they even better live!
