From and the morning light was breaking it goes between E and the G#5
(lightly strumming V listen to the song for timing) for a while until after
you get to until he opens up his eyes and the angels all look down.
During that it goes:
G#5
E |————————0—0——| Link
B |————————0—0——|
G |————————2—2——|
D |————————2—2——|
A |————————0—0——|
E |——0—2—4—0—0——| (x2)
Then (The chorus):
even closer than this life
E
closer than your faith
G#5
Closer than the things that you hold dearly in your vain (lyric check!)
C#m B A
(x2 same for next verse)
Then the link again
After that you get back to the same basic E, G#5 idea. Repeat the link twice
again, then do the chorus twice (you can put a slide in if you want).
Then it goes to this riff:
something(don't know the words), solitude your peace of mind, holding out for
something less than touching the hand of god
E |——x/x—x—x———x/x—x—x———x———x—x—x—x——x—x—x—x——x——| (Riff #1)
B |——x/x—x—x———x/x—x—x———x———x—x—x—x——x—x—x—x——x——|

E |——5/7—7—7———5/7—7—7———4———5—5—5—5——5—5—5—5——2——| (x1 before, x2 during singing)
Then do the link twice,
Then it goes to the chorus 3 times, with an extra verse:
