Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

This is my first tab ever, well its a chord tab so whatever.  
Its as accurate as possible but my choice of neck-location 
for the chords is simply by preference not sound necessarily.  
Please go east on me :P

             C  Bm  Am  Em          An Alternative to this C chord         
             3   2   0   0          Is advised for novice players,         
             5   3   1   0          however the chord shift from that
             5   4   2   0          to Bm is very hard and the bar chord 
             5   4   2   2          is not a full neck chord so its not as
             3   2   0   2          bad as say... F.
             x   X   0   0     
Quick Note: a C is correct, try not to find that at fault.  
The Bm never seems to sound right, however any other chord doesnt 
sound any closer for me.  The Am is right... once again try not to argue,
and the Em is as far as i can tell correct to the best of my knowlege. 
This is the closest tab to the song, the other tabs dont even come 
close except for Am and the occasional C and Em, however if you play 
the root of the chords in the song, you notice there are 4 chords, 
not just 3.

Verse 1: (no distortion)

C           Bm          Am                    Em              C
Here I lie, I'm staring at, Clouds and Shapes of, Dogs and Cats. I hear a
   Bm        Am             Em
women, start to yell. Oh dear God I, Think he fell

Chorus:  (slight distortion)

C                         Bm           Am                Em            C
I'm the Arrow, shot straight to hell. From the Bow of, William Tell. My body
             Bm               Am                  Em
Lies, Kissing the Ground, Like a cross turned upside down.

(Slight distortion still)
C
  A priest is rushing 
Bm        Am
To my side,
               Em
Begins to read me
             C
My last rites.
                     Bm
Father you're too late
             Am
My faith is weak
                   Em
So won't you save your 
                     C
half-hearted speech.

(HEAVY distortion, crank up mid range)

C                         Bm           Am                Em            C
I'm the Arrow, shot straight to hell. From the Bow of, William Tell. My body
           Bm               Am                  Em
Lies, Kissing the Ground, Like a cross turned upside down.

C
A man bends down and says, 
Bm                                      Am
"Son, we're going to get through this one 
                                
take my hand and let us pray..."
      Em
I scream, "Please get the fuck away."

Solo Section:
C  Bm  Am  Em (big surprise eh?)

I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell
From the bow of William Tell.
My body lies
Kissing the ground
Like a cross turned upside down.

C
The ambulance is singing
Em
As cops push back the crowd
C
I start to take my last breath,
Em
As blood pours out my mouth.
C
The medics WALKING my way
Em
I think this could be it.
C
I hear them start to state
Em
The time of death is half past six.

I'm the arrow,
Shot straight to hell [x2]


Thats about it.  
If you nail bar chords this song should be a real treat 
and an easy song to start on singing while playing.  
The end chords do shift from the normal order but i think its right... 
too distorted for me to make out everything though.
