<code> The main part is G F Eb F G. I'm not sure what positions he is playing on the album. You could do it pretty easily if you dropped down a half step and played E-shape bar chords. I'm tabbing it out with normal tuning and playing A-shape power chords, simply because it's easier (and might actually be right).

Main part: G* F Eb F G

Intro: (Main part twice)

(Main part - Played once for each two lines below) I know you never asked for my opinion But I'd say that horse is crazy I know what I think doesn't matter any more But I'd say his mind is gone And I know you know what I know Even though you'd rather die than say it I know you feel the same way Or you wouldn't be sleeping on the lawn

G C I heard the hooves crack the window Saw the body come through

      G

Saw the big brown eyes flashing I fell all over you

    D                C       G

I got pressure bearing down on me

(Main part - Played once for each two lines below) There was a reason why I came here But I guess now it doesn't matter I had a good, good, good, good reason But I guess now you couldn't care There is a certain kind of feeling that you get When you're totally helpless And there's a different world waiting for me When I lift my head up from your thick, dark hair

G C I heard the hooves crack the window Saw the body come through

      D

Saw the big nostrils flaring I fell all over you

    D                C    G

I got pressure bearing down on me

G C I heard the hooves crack the window Saw the body come through

      D

Saw the big brown eyes flashing I fell all over you

    D                       G

I got pressure bearing down on me

Outro: (Main part four times)
