***I'd say this is probably 100% accurate, let me know what you think!***
Grab your acoustic and tune your E to drop D,
Then put a capo on the 6th fret.
Let the open strings be hit on the EBG strings often. I won't be tabbing them however.
A lot of hammer-ons in this piece. It's what makes it so cool.
This a great piece to strengthen your fingers for doing fast hammer-ons!
Drop D - Capo 6th Fret (all notes relative to capo position)

Ending
To break it down further:
------Verse
------Prechorus (no repeat)
------Chorus (1)
------Verse
To make thee mine
I cast a net as wide as I am free
Line by line
Erase the schemes that I have drawn to be
------Prechorus
There's no fear anymore
Crystalline the truth, assumes the breeze
There's no fear anymore
Burn the bridge outside
------Chorus (2)
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
------Fill
If I can't live without you
------Verse
I feel alone walking home All by myself
I've never chased a brighter sun than you'll become
------Prechorus (no repeat)
------Bridge (play x2.5)
I mistook you for a trust
Invocations I must dust off
Fresh bouquets to playfully collect
------Verse
------Verse
Even though you've seen the show
I've saved the best for last
A cannonball shot stern to bow
To warn the crowd
------Prechorus
I fall in love from my guts
My arms are twined to switch
And in repose, a silent rose
Burns the bridge outside
------Chorus (3)
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
------Verse
To make thee mine
I call upon the wisdom of my age
Blow by blow
Chase the bees of the death song's wings
------Prechorus (no repeat)
There's no crying anymore
Crystalline, the bridges burn outside
------Bridge
Stitches will all come undone
------Chorus (4)
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
------Bridge
What comes must all come out at once of us
------Chorus (5)
If I'm gonna live
If I'm gonna live
Without you
------Verse
I've never chased a brighter sun than you'll become
What comes will all, the breaking dawn
But I'm on its side
------Prechorus
------Ending
Enjoy! I spent a good hour or two tabbing this out for you Pumpkin fans. :)
