Ugly Day Five Iron Frenzy

To the best of my knowledge this is the way to play "Ugly Day." But as
anybody who tries to tab this out will find, there are a LOT of changes
and stuff, so I'm probably wrong on a lot of things. It sounds good
though played alone, or with the CD though.
See notes at the bottom for any asterisks (*)
Intro:
The song starts with the rhythm guitar playing a D while the lead plays
this:
e----------------------------- B----------------------------- G----------------------------- D-0-4-0------0-2-0---------- A-------2----------4-2-0----- E---------3-------------------
Verse 1:
[D]I don't know just h[G]ow this happened
[D]Didn't think it ever [A]could
[D]I'm the author of s[G]appy love songs
Bm A*
Trading in my batchelorhood
[Em]Something snapped [A]deep inside me
[D]Something that some[G]body said
[B]I felt the brush of a[A]ngels wings and your[G] voice echoed in my head
Chorus:
[D]Ugly [A]Day,[G] sun is[A] shining
[D]Every c[A]loud's got a [Bm]silver [G]lining
[D]Ugly [A]Day, [G]skies are [A]blue
[G]Now every [Bm]day is [A]ugly without you
Verse 2:
You are the one pure thing
That I've always prayed for
Scales are falling from my eyes
Must have been so blind before
I would lie down on the street
Keep the dust off of your feet
I would kneel each time I kiss you
Anything; Christie I miss
-Chorus-
Bridge:("Whoa-oh" part)
[G-D]
Now it gets tricky. After bridge the key gets moved up 1 step from D to
E.
So.....
Verse 3:
[E]Today was an [A]ugly one
[E]Just like all the [B]others
[E]All the flowers [A]and the birds
C# B**
Make me feel smothered
[F#]I would lie down [B]on the street
[E]Keep the dust off [A]of your feet
[C#]I would kneel each t[B]ime I kiss you
[A]Anything; Christie I miss you
2nd Chorus:
[E]Ugly [B]Day,[A] sun is[B] shining
[E]Every c[B]loud's got a [C#m]silver l[A]ining
[E]Ugly [B]Day, [A]skies are [B]blue
[A]Now every [C#m]day is u[B]gly without you
-2nd Chorus-
2nd Bridge:
[A-E]
Outro:
Rhythm guitar plays an E while lead plays this:
e----------------------------- B----------------------------- G----------------------------- D---6--------4---------------- A-7---4----7---7-6-4---------- E-------5------------7--------

* This may sound funny sometimes when compared to the CD, so if you want
you can throw in a quick F#-F-E fill to kinda make it sound "better",
cause that is what the horns are playing over the A chord that the guitar
is playing
** Basically the same thing as the first *, but because of the key change
the fill would be: G#-G-F#
