Repeat

Note: From here on out, the acoustic guitar mostly
improvises along with the chords. Therefore, I think
that it would be pure folly to tab exactly what Curt
played. The electric guitar is very well defined,
however, and has been notated.

Verse 1:

F#m
Well the colors are flowing
E
From the wall to the floor
F#m E
And only an outline still remains
B
Cause the roofs got a hole in it
C# D E F#m
And everything's been ruined by the rain


Verse 2: Same chords
There may be diamonds
In that dream on the hill
But the people that live there still complain
Cause the roofs got a hole in it
And everything is soaking in the rain

Verse 3: Same chords
No one can practice
Common sense that they see
Through the nickel and diming I'll explain
Well the roof's got a hole in it
And everything is ruined by the rain

Yeah my head's got a hole in it
And everything's been ruined by the rain
