[Verse 1] (Palm Mute C#5 (x46xxx) - the whole thing  )

Live, learn, and let it lie
Skip to the end to wonder why
And I will lay down
Here you'll find that we all are
Blossoms that bloom to fall apart
And I will lay down

[Chorus]

   So Abba father are you sleeping   As we toil through your gardens keeping?

[Verse 2]

Keep your tired hands to ground
As blood feeds the dirt to which you're bound

And I will lay down
               C#5 (strum as DD, DD, DDD, DDDD - and repeat)
E|---------------------|

(Alternately, someone is following the lyrics mostly on the D String - up to the trem picking
 at the end of the song - this sounds way better than the power chords)

Something like this (follow the lyrics - including syllables!)
E|----------------------------------------------------------| 
B|----------------------------------------------------------| 
G|----------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-777-666-444-666-222-444-111-222--------------------------|

  (Strum as DDDD, DDD repeat) - repeat 7x
E|-----------| 
B|-----------| 
G|-----------| 
D|-----------|

Last one slightly different:

G|-----------------| 
D|-----------------| 
A|-11-(4x)--9-(3x)-| 
E|-11-------9------| 


   (Keep same strum going, 7 beats each)                 (Trem picking starts here on 16?)
      I'll lay down and begin to grow           Right beneath your garden window
E|---------------------|-----------------------|---------------------|-------------|

[Ending]

  (Trem Picking - listen for the note changes)
                                                                   (note)
