  			This is from the unplugged set they did in 96'. 
I'm pretty sure it's perfect so no worries. 

Em tuning (half step down) 

It goes: 


Cadd9                   Em7     G D 

We ... chase misprinted lies, 

Cadd9                   Em7     G D 

We ... face the path of time. 

Cadd9                                            Em7    G D 

And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone, 

Cadd9                              Em7      G D 

No one to cry to, no place to call home..

and then Jerry comes in with this fill/interlude:

--10---9-10-----------------------7-5-4--

Then he returns to the Cadd9, Em7, G and D chords for: 

My gift of self is raped 
My privacy is raked 
And yet I find, and yet I find repeating in my head 
If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead 

Then Jerry goes to another fill while Lanye sings "Ooooh" 

--12----------------10-----------12----------------10---------

------5-4-0-2---

Then there is a pretty lengthy lead that I will put in another  
tab. The best way to get the strumming pattern and timing down 
in this one is to just listen to the song. I can't really help  
you much there. Suggestions welcome!!
