Song Structure:

This song doesn't have a traditional verse/chorus structure, instead has a vocal bit/guitar 
solo structure.  In total there are four solos, and all but the first one are tabbed in full
above (the first solo isn't very complicated, and is more of a developmental version of the
second solo). To play the solos properly you need a slide, but it sounds fine just played 
normally. During the vocal parts the guitar plays variations on the relative solos. 
Tabbing them all would take far too long but you can easily improvise something from what 
I've already given. One guitar plays the chords Am F G F throughout.  Presumably this is 
played by Eno because Saul is playing his violin.

Lyrics/Chords:

Am      F
Am      F
Am      F       G        F

                 Am
Are you open for trade

        F
Your salvation

         G
For some faith

         F
For some thrills

                 Am
Here's a body of work

            F
For your inspection

        G
You can trace

            F
Trace my concern

       Am
I'm concerned

 

I've been looking for truth

At the cost of living

I've been afraid

Of what's before mine eyes

Every answer found

Begs another question

The further you go, the less you know

The less I know

 

I can feel your faith

Gonna make it mine

I can be the man

I see in your eyes

Can you take my weight

Are we both too small

Know each other well

We've met before

 

Will we grow together

Will it be a lie

If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die

Will you marry me 

Can we meet the cost

Is the power of love worth the pain of loss

Can you pay the bill, will you keep the change

Are you here for the party, or are you here for the pain

 

I can feel your faith

Can I make it mine

I can be the man

I see in your eyes

Will we grow together

Will it be a lie

If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die

Hope I'm the first to die
