Sole Survivor

	  		Intro:                (x4 On the 4th time, 
                       stop on the open 6th string and let it ring) 
 
 
Verse: 
(fingerpick these chords in different ways to get it to sound right, 
 because I can't find a particular pattern) 
 
F 
There walked a lonely man 
Em 
Silent mute the only man 
    F 
Not knowing how, not knowing why 
    Em 
Was he the sole survivor 
F 
Why should he be alive 
Em 
Breathing still while others died 
F 
And the only question 
        Em 
Why was he the sole survivor? {lead riff 1} 
 
Lead riff 1: 
 
(So basically just hit the bass note twice then strum the 
full chord and slide it downwards toward the nut.) 
 
Chorus lyrics: 
Sole survivor 
Cursed with second sight 
Haunted savior 
Cried into the night 
Sole survivor 
Cursed with second sight 
Haunted savior 
Cried into the night 
 
That's all I have for now, but thats the majority of the song. 
And of course the tab will make more sense if you listen to the song. 
Feel free to add comments. Remember, this was all by ear but to me 
it sounds really good ( that might just be my ego talking =P )
