Key:
h=hammer-on
p=pull-off

This is actually a pretty easy song. 
Glen does a lot of syncopation on the chords and the intro, 
but you can pick it up pretty easily by listening to the song.

-0------------------0------------------0---0 then there is some syncopation

then you repeat it, but more intense and adding more of the E chord on the first part. 
by that i mean try to do more with it. i play it the second time like this

The verse is played with open chords, 
but I've found it sounds better to play the chorus with normal chords.
The chords are E, C#m, and A

               E
I wanna sit you down and talk

               E
I wanna pull back the veils and

C#m
Find out what it is I've done wrong

               E
I wanna tear these curtains down


I want you to meet me somewhere


Tonight in this old tourist town


And we'll go

A      C#m  E         
Low rising


Cause we've gotta come up


We've gotta come up



That repeats for the whole song
Good luck
