Hey.
This is quite hard to explain how to play, but with a little goodwill I'm sure you'll get it.
There's two guitars (of course, since it's Lizzy), and I haven't tabbed them both
compleately. Though Riff 2 is played by guitar 2, and riff 3 by guitar 1. 
I hope you can figure it out...I understand if you find it hard, but its correct (I guess), and 
if you have any unanswered questions, PM them to me.

Lyrics:

Down and out in the city
Won't you give a boy a break
Juvenile on trial before committee
Taken all he can take

But the king shall have his vengeance
Especially on the poor
Some say preaching to convert him
Me I'm not too sure

Spring she comes and spring she teases
Brings summer winds and summer breezes
Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us
When autumn leaves us, oh how winter freezes

And the child is still breathing
With the beating of a heart (with the beating of the heart)
Some say we are equal
Some a million miles apart

Oh my god
Oh my god

But the king shall have his vengeance
While the Queen she represents the innocent
And the child so dependent
But the seasons conquer all

Spring she comes and spring she teases
Brings summer winds and summer breezes
Blow through your hair till autumn leaves us
When autumn leaves, oh how winter freezes

But the king shall have his vengeance
Especially on the poor
Some say preaching to converted
Me I'm not so sure
