notes played do not strictly stay the same as there are small variations
made especially on the highest strings. These variations really are not
of much significance to tab or identify all of them....

..B5.......B5/A.......Esus2...Esus2...
I traveled though the atmos...phere
.....B5......B5/A.....Esus2...Esus2...
as a wall of feedback climbed
....B5........B5/A......B5.......B5/A......Esus4..............
The pegs were gold, the band was old, they played in half time
>>>
then; repeat first two intro sections...
>>>
....B5....B5/A.......Esus2....Esus2.....
Now every dream gets whittled down
..........B5....B5/A......Esus2...Esus2...
just like every fool gets wise
.........B5....B5/A....B5..B5/A.......Esus4.............
You will never reap of any seed deprived of sunlight
>>>
then; repeat first two intro sections...
>>>
>>>Chorus
G.....................Bm........
..So I have become the Middleman
G...................Bm...
..The gray areas are mine
D...........G.........F#...Bm..
..The in-between, the absentee
.....F#................
Is a beautiful disguise
>>>
then; repeat first two intro sections...
>>>
>>>Verse
>>>For this verse nothing is really played apart from a few of the bass notes
>>>Also a lot of tapping the guitar....but here are the chords anyway...
.....B5......B5/A.......Esus2...Esus2...
So I keep my footlights shining bright
............B5......B5/A..Esus2...Esus2...
just like I keep my exits wide
.........B5....B5/A...........B5......B5/A.........Esus4.............
'Cause I never know when it's time to go, it's too crowded now inside
>>>
then; repeat first two intro sections...
>>>
....B5.......B5/A..Esus2......Esus2..
The dead can hide beneath the ground
........B5........B5/A...Esus2...Esus2...
and the birds can always fly
........B5......B5/A...B5.....B5/A.....Esus4.............
But the rest of us do what we must in constant compromise
>>>
then; repeat first two intro sections...
>>>
G.....................Bm........
..So I have become the Middleman
G...................Bm...
..The gray areas are fine
D..............G...........F#....Bm...
..The "I don't know," the "maybe so"
.......F#...................................................B5...
Is the only real, It is the only true, Is the only real reply
>>>
then; repeat first two intro sections... end on B5 or Bm
>>>
The end sections really just a showpiece for that violin so i won't tab it.
If you really want the end bit for some reason (maybe your mate plays
the violin) just PM me and i'll tab it.
