This is an alternate tuning version of a tab by pye3214.
It can either be done by raising the high e a whole step and lowering the G string a
half step, with capo 1.
Or, if you're like me and don't want to add tension on the high e, you can lower
everything but the e another whole step and play capo 3.

|TUNING OPTION 2

Either way you end up with this tuning, and these chords
[C] [Fadd9] [Am7] [Gsus4]
g---0----0-----0----0--------|
C---0----0-----0----0--------|
G---0----0-----0----0--------|
Eb--1----2-----6----4--------|
Bb--2----2-----6----4--------|
F--------0-----4----2--------|
Again, I want to reiterate that pye3214 did most of the work on this and I just put it
in an open tuning.
Check out his tab for a standard tuning version.

[C]When th[Fadd9]e soul of the city
[C]Was lai[Fadd9]d to rest
[C]And the[Fadd9] nights forgotten
[C]And lef[Fadd9]t for dead
[Am7]Oh, oh, [Fadd9]oh, oh, oh [C]oh oh, oh (x2)

I happened on a house
Built of living light
Where everything evil
Disappears and dies
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
[Fadd9]When they love you, and they will
[C]Tell 'e[Am7]m all [Gsus4]they'll love in my shadow
[Fadd9]And if they try to slow you down
[C]Tell 'e[Am7]m all [Gsus4]to go to hell
Fadd9~
I settled in slowly
To this house that you call home
To blood and breath
Fear, flesh and bone
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
Rush of our bodies
In the heat of the night
All day the day after
Red in the skies
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
BRIDGE
Fadd9 C Gsus4 Am7 (x4)
It's a lifeless life
With no fixed address to give
But you're not mine to die for anymore
So I must live
Born of a bottle
From heaven's hand
And now you know
And here I am
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh (x2)
When they love you, and they will
Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow
And if they try to slow you down
Tell 'em all to go to hell
When they love me, and they will
I'll tell 'em all they'll love in your shadow
And if they try to slow me down
I'll tell 'em all to go to hell
