[Amy plays this in E, capoed up 1 to F. Emily plays it in C with a
capo on the fifth fret and her guitar tuned to DADGBC. I'm going to
write down Emily's chords, because they're easier and more interesting.
If you want to play Amy's chords, you can figure them out; since it's
in E, there are a lot of barre chords.]
[Actually, when I play this, I usually just play Emily's chords, but
in standard tuning so I don't put my high E in danger of breaking when
I tune back up. If you play in standard tuning, play the verse as
C G F G7-G6; it's pretty easy to play the G7 - G6 part, as long as
you play G as 320003 with your pinky on the high E string. Just play
Em(C)/B as Em, and play D13 as D or D11 (554030).]
[Each chord is half a measure, except "G7 - G6" is half a measure _total_.]

intro
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOL7 - SOL6
Galileo's head was on the block
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOL7 - SOL6
The crime was looking up the truth
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOL7 - SOL6
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
LAm MIm(C)/SI FA6(9) SOLsus
I try to trace them to my youth
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
How long till my soul gets it right? Can any human
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the
LAm MIm(C)/SI RE13 RE13
resting soul of Galileo
FA6(9) SOLsus DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
King of night vision, king of insight
Then I think about my fear of motion
Which I never could explain
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
Must have crashed his little airplane
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
FA6(9) SOLsus DO DO
King of night vision, king of insight
LAm LAm FA/LA FA/LA
I'm not making a joke, you know me
FA#dim/LA FA#dim/LA FA/LA FA/LA
I take every - thing so seriously
LAm LAm FA/LA FA/LA
If we wait for the time till all souls get it right
SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus FA6(9)
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
in my lifetime; I'm still not right

I offer thanks to those before me
That's all I've got to say
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
Now I have to pay
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
To let the next life off the hook
She'll say, "look what I had to overcome from my last life
I think I'll write a book"
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach the highest light?
Except for the resting soul... (God rest his soul)
FA6(9) SOLsus DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
King of night vision, king of insight
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
How long till my soul gets it right...
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus
How long till I meet that highest light...
DO SOLsus FA6(9) SOLsus DO
How long?

*this should probably be called Cmaj7/B, but in the context, it sounds more
like E minor, so I'm calling it "E minor with an added C (and B bass)."
