This version tries to sound similar to the original studio version but without the need of changing tuning
and playing relatively easy voicings and positions.
It's made from and for an intermediate player but I tried not to make an over-simplification (like the
tab by @lenavd06, which is a little too easy (for me) and therefore less accurate to the original.
However, I did over-simplify the instrumental/guitar riff part.

[Verse 1]
           
  I tried to t


ell you
          
I didn't know 

       
how to stay
            
You believe sh

ugh
          
Cutting at the

        
 silent clay
            
A relief, beck

   
on deep blue
          
Fettered in th

        
e magnet sun
            
Eat the gun as

    
 it feeds you
          
Spitting up th

    
e oxygen
          
Once again

/    
          
Once again

[Verse 2]
            
Once again, em

     
pty horses
          
Gallop through

            
 the violet do

/
or
            
Follow red, cr

        
ooked courses
          
Shadows on the

         
 moonlit floor
            
O my stars, wi

      
nged creatures
          
Gathering in s

       
ilken height
            
Like the last 

              
human teachers


[Verse 3]
            
Once again, we

       
 must bleed ne

w
          
Even as the ho

     
urs shake
            
Crystal blood 

        
like a dream t

rue
          
A ripple in th

            
e wound and wa

You believe, I

That you are t

[Verse 4]
     
   I remember
          
building an en

      
ergy shield
            
In your room, 

        
like a temple
          
Swallows in th

Very thin, wit

Tall as a pale

      
 green tree
            
Very wild, bri

       
ght as winter
          
Rising with a 

        
prism key
            
And a child to

   
 deliver
          
Taken with the

          
 blood and vin

As the first l
