Okay, this is the tabbing for the acoustic guitar part... 
I like to play bar chords in the chorus, especially when the 
chords change quickly, but you do what you want. :) 
 
The only thing I'll add is that the E/G# chord sounds best 
as a bar chord, i.e.: 
 
e :--4-- 
B :--5-- 
G :--4-- 
D :--6-- 
A :--7-- 
E :--4-- 
 
Go nuts. 
 
Email me for comments/criticisms. 
 
Cheers!

{VERSE 1} 
 
Fmaj7 
You know how it feels 
 
Cmaj7 
to roll away like a stone 
 
Fmaj7 
And sing like a dove 
 
Cmaj7 
that's found it's way home 
 
 
Fmaj7 
The filth on the ground 
 
Cmaj7 
or washed up on the shore 
 
Fmaj7 
We try where they've failed 
 
Cmaj7 
but they'll reap what the sow 
 
 
{CHORUS} 
 
E F G 
Ohhh... And it's the passion we feel 
 
Am 
as we run through life 
 
E F G 
Ohhh... I hope a time will come 
 
E/G# 
When they realise 
 
Am C F#m 
What they've done 
 
 
F E/G# Am C F#m 
THey're shakin' it, breakin it slowly 
 
F E/G# 
Shakin' it, breakin' it slowly... 
 
 
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 
 
 
{VERSE 2} 
 
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 
The lone CEO, chosen for his worth 
 
fmaj7 
To build cash-tiled walls 
 
Cmaj7 
Above the smoke-stacked sky 
 
 
{CHORUS} 
 
Am E Am F 
Slowly..... 
 
 
{BRIDGE} 
 
Cmaj7 E Am 
But what if you never drew your breath 
 
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 
On a warm sun-filled day 
 
E 
or caught all your dreams, in a season of 
 
Am Fm G 
tranquility, tranquility, tranquility 
 
 
{CHORUS (a couple of times or so)}
