So, I got inspired today to write up an acoustic version of this song. It actually sounds really close to the original; I just didn't bother with the major riffs and breakdown of the song. Tuned to D Standard, it will match right up with the recording. I fiddle around with hammer-ons and pull-offs with these chords for the intro: E Esus E7 E7II e|-0----0----0----0- b|-0----0----0----3- g|-1----2----1----1- d|-2----2----0----0- a|-2----2----2----2- E|-0----0----0----0- Also, this is the B5 chord I'm using in the chorus; any other B chord doesn't sound right:e|-B52- b|-2- g|-4- d|-4- a|-2- E|-2-Verse 1: E5 (play variants through verse) Since the new world order played upon our fears Spreading accusations of radical ideas The brotherhood of wisdom: strength and dignity Its rituals and secrets remain a mystery Pre-chorus:F# Beneath an ever wGatchful eF#ye, the angels of Gthe temple F#fly Chorus: B5Turn the key, walk thA2rough the gate The gGreat ascent to rDeach a hA2igher stB5ate A2 A rite of pGassage F# The fB5inal stage; a sA2acred home UnlGock the door, and lDay the cA2ornersB5tone A2 A rite of pGassage F#Verse 2:E5Men of wealth and power, D5influence and fame PhilC5osophers and leaders are mB5embers of the trade E5Bound by oath and honor, lD5ike the rose and cross An C5enigmatic union of B5esoteric thought{Pre-chorus, Chorus} {do whatever you want for the breakdown here, or nothing at all =]} Final Chorus:B5Turn the key, walk thA2rough the gate The gGreat ascent to rDeach a hA2igher stB5ate A2 A rite of pGassage F# The sB5even stars, the rA2ising sun A pGerfect world where nDew life hA2as begB5un A2 A rite of pGassageF#
