this part is all harmonics, play it through distortion and it'll
sound great. just play it as if your hand wasn't strong enough to
press down on the frets just right, you'll get very good artificial
harmonics.
the intro part is throughout the speech ("vanity of vanities..."
verse pt 1 is played once or twice in the beginning of the verse,
verse pt 2 is played throughout most of the verse, with a B chord
sometimes substituted for the A chord (the A chord is marked with a *).
verse pt 3 is used at the end of the verse and during the solo, right
before the solo, it's doubled and harmonized a fourth up (same fret, next
higher string)
wailing guitar throughout the beginning:

there's more, but that's all i really feel like sitting down
and figuring out.
lyrics:

it has no meaning."

ooh the hand
of god
lays high
above me
oh he's so good
if you really
loved me
make me feel
your mighty crunch
as you run
me out
like a wall defiled scepter

let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray

oooh the hand
of god
is stacked
and callous
bruised
from stones
and sticks
the hand
of god
has got
a ring about the size of texas
maybe sleet
steadied stones
my fingers
never smelled.

let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray

enjoy.

let it be known today that if you've got two hands you're supposed to pray
