I think it's all power chords, but your guess is as good as mine

F/G F/G F/G F/G
I lay my head_ On the railroad track_ Stare at the sky_ All painted up_
D G
Your train is gone, won't be comin' back

(CHORUS)
D C G - C A
See the constellation, ride across the sky
G D C A G D C G
No cigar no lady on his arm, just a guy made of dots and lines
G D C G
Just a guy made of dots and lines


Two years ago_ Moved from my town_ I was looking up_ Past the city lights_
But the city lights got in my way

(CHORUS)

(For this verse, there is no guitar, the base is playing F and G in the same
rythm as the chords in the other verses)
I found my mind_ On the ground below_ I was looking up_ It was looking back_
I was in the sky all dressed in black

(CHORUS:Which is extended with...)

G D C - F
Just a guy made of dots_ and_ lines_

(Some improv here, then play the riff over this)

Can you hear what I see in the sky?

At the end, there's something going on with a G chord. Some bending and
stuff. listen to the song and play with it.
