I think I may have tabbed this before, with just the basic chords, but this version is more faithful to the way PK would play it in concert. Good luck, because some of these chords present some interesting stretches! ********* 1 E----------------------------------------- B--5---------5---3p2p0------0------------ G--2-----2---------------2---------------- D--2--2----------------------------------- A--0-----------0--------------------------- E-------------------------3------3--3----- 2 E--0----------0------------------------------- B--1-----------------3p1p0-----0---------------- G--2------2------------------2-----2--1-------- D--3---3--------------------------------------- A--3-------------------------------------------- E--1-------------1------------0--------0----0h2----- 3 E---------------------------------------h-- B--3---------3-------1p0-------------s----- G--0-----0-----------------0h2-----u------- D-----0---------------------------r-------- A--------------------------------b--------- E--3------------3----------1--------------- 4 E-----------------------0--------------------- B---------------0h1h3-----1----1-0----------- G--0-------0h2----------------------2---2---- D--0--0----------------------------------3---- A--------------------------0-------------3---- E--3-------------------------------------1---- VERSE (The) 5 Maker of the U-ni-verse E------------------------------------------- B--3--------3------1p0---------------------- G--------0---------------0h2-----------2----- D-----0--------------------------------3------ A--------------------------------------3------ E---3--------------------1------------------- 6 As man for man was made a curse E--0----------1---------0-------------------------- B--1----------3---------0-------------------3------- G--2----------2---------1-------------------4------- D--2----------0---------2--------------------------- A--0--------------------2--------------------------- E-----------------------0--------------------4---- 7 the claims of law which he had made unto the E-------------------------------------------------- B-1----------1------------------3---------3-------- G-2----------2------------------2---------2------- D-------------------------------0---0--2--3-------- A-0---0--2---3------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------- 8 uttermost he paid his E------------------------------------ B--3------3-------3--------------------- G--5--4---4-------4---------------------- D--5------5-------3-------------------- A------------------------------------ E------------------4------------------ 9 Holy fingers made the bough which E------------------------------------ B--5-----8---------8-------------------- G--5-----7---------5-------------------- D--5-----5---------5-------------------- A------------------7----------------- E--5------7--------8-------------------- 10 grew the thorns that crowned his brow.... the E----------------------------------------- B-----8--------8-------6-------6----------- G-----7------7---------5-----5------------- D-----9----9-----------7---7---------------- A-----7----------------8--------------8--7---- E-----0--------------------------------------- 11 nails that pierced his hands were mined in E--1-------1---------1--------1---------0---- B--------3---------3--------3---------3------- G-----2---------2---------2---------1--------- D--0------------------------------------------- A------------3----------2---------------------- E---------------------------------0----------- 12 secret places he de - signed he E-------------------------------------0------ B--3-------3---------3-------------2--------- G--------1---------1------------2------------ D------2---------2------------2--------------- A--0----------0-----------0------------------- E--------------------------------------------- 13 made the forest whence there sprung the E---------------------------------------------- B----6---------6------------6----------8------ G-----------5------------5-----------7-------- D--------7------------7-----------5----------- A----5---------------------------------------- E------------------8------------7------------- 14 tree on which his body hung he E------------------------------------------ B--8--------8----------8-------------5----- G--------5----------7-------------5-------- D-----5----------5-------------5------------ A------------------------------------------ E--8-----------7------------5-------------- 15 died u - pon a cross of wood yet E--1--------1-----------1---------1----------0--- B--------3-----------3----------3----------3----- G-----2-----------2-----------2---------1-------- D--0--------------------------------------------- A--------------3-----------2--------------------- E-------------------------------------0----------- 16 made the hill on which it stood...

The first chord is formed by an index finger bar over the 5th fret (pluck only the notes tabbed). Keeping that finger in position, the other 3 fingers from the next two chords. 10th bar - another stretch on that second full chord. Again, use the index finger to bar the 5th fret, and then the other three fingers form the chord. 11th and 15th bar - The descending bass line is fingered thus (chord is formed by index, middle and pinky fingers) : open, ring finger, thumb. The chord never changes fingering, so anchor those fingers! 13th bar - You should be used to this garbage by now... index bar chord, other fingers do the dirty work. Better start exercising that pinky! The descending bass line is handled by the pinky, and then the middle finger. With that in mind the other fingers should fall into their proper place by default. 14th bar - more of the same. Here's a clue as to the chords: the bass line is fingered ring, middle, index. The last chord is a bar chord. In fact, that bar never moves. With an index finger to hold down the strings, PK can save a little stress on the other fingers.
