Be sure to accent the alternating bass notes occurring on the low E and A,
It bounces back and forth between those two.

[E]even the most shimmering rain
empties out the sky and comes to an en[A]d
[E]we all know that the sun is king
there's no [A]messing with our orbitin[E]g
so [B]why is he standing in his own backyard[E]?
[D]crying at his falling [A]down house of card[E]?
did you see the ice in his eye?
did you see the dagger caught in his smile?
innocent as a summer flower
with a serpent coiled under his collar
so why is he standing in his own backyard?
crying at his falling down house of card?
The guitar solo follows the same chord structure as if going through the verse and chorus once.
Now, if you don't have a capo, which I can sympathize with, then here are the
actual names of those chords.
Verse:
[G#] [-] [C#]
Chorus:
[D#] [-] [G#]
[F#] [-] [C#] [-] [G#]
