Hauled from the wreckage

Blown by the wind

Nothing there, but the road in front of him

So tear down the walls

Storm through the barricades

There's fight in every corner
F#m
And a night to everyday

F#m
Drawn here by circumstance
A
Led here by fate

Some kind of misunderstanding, Led the soul astray

Said Lord I followed your way, won't you show me mine

F#m
And a night to everyday

F Minor Pentatonic
That's the bare bones of it.
Tips:
You must listen to the song to get a feel for the song.
The chorus is a choppy part where Davy alternates between downstrokes on the bottom
and upstrokes on the top strings. Use chunky distortion to get the right sound.
The F7 chord has a little slide in it from the third to the fourth fret during the choruses.
In the verses, strum the chords and arpeggiate the top three strings.
The verses are played with a delay-type pedal which and slight tremolo effects.
For the solos, improvise dramatically.
Have fun, this is a great, impressive song.
