Intro: Guitar 1 plays chords (single strums on the downbeat)
       Guitar 2 plays the tab below

Verse: Guitar 1 continues as before, Guitar 2 out

Asus2            Cmaj7
i want the woman who would want me

Em            D
velvet temple of her body

seeing lovers crushed together
doesn't make things any better


Chorus: Guitar 1 continues playing chords as before. The lower case
          chord names are octaves, played between the 5th and 3rd
          strings, moving one shape up and down the neck. The e is
          spelled x7x9xx, and then up to the 9th fret for f#, down to the
          second fret for b, and so on...
        Guitar 2 returns, and Guitar 3 enters, each playing a short 
          repeating phrase over the first half of the chorus. Notice
          that the parts are of different lengths, so that they don't 
          really form a simple melodic idea, but something more textural.
          The guitars are pretty much isolated (Guitar 2 left, Guitar 3
          right) if that helps you see what's going on... Both guitars
          drop out on the last line ("kiss me...")

oh the hunger of this body

tear me open, take it from me
fill me up again or give me nothing

maya, maya

kiss me through the veil
