Another guitar plays this:
e|-------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------|
G|---------0--2--------0--2--------0--2--3-2-0-3---|
D|---3--3--------3--3--------3--3------------------| (x2)
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|
Then just play an F chord while the strings take over the lead:
e|--------------1------------------------5--1------------8--5------|
B|-----------------3--1------------------------1-1--3----------3---|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------0-------------------------------------------3------------|
A|---3-3-------------------3-3--0-1-0------------------------------|
E|----------1-------------------------1----------------------------|
[Bridge]
I think the chord that sounds best here is the Dm7(b13):
e|---5---|
B|---6---|
G|---5---|
D|---8---|
A|---5---|
E|-------|
Dm7(b13) F
Now I'm not sayin' we are cut from the same tree
Dm7(b13) F
But like two pieces of the gallows
Dm7(b13) F
The pillar and the beam
Dm7(b13) F
Like two pieces of the gallows
Dm7(b13) F
We share a common dream
[Chorus]
Bbm
To destroy what will harm
F
Other men
F
My friend
