Standard tuning.
Capo 1st, chords relative to capo.
 
Just the chords that make up the song.  There're arpeggios and stuff,
but I'm too lazy to tab those for now.  Sounds good on an acoustic.
The chords sound best struck once and then left to ring during the
verse, and strummed in eighth-notes for the chorus, and the verses
starting "They put a net there...", "They say that Jesus...", and
"For The very fear...".  Just play around.

That's it for now.  Possibly a tab of some of the other guitar bits when
I
get around to it.
