Guitar chords and vocal line
These, to the best of my knowledge (which I admit is not infallible) are
the chords to the song. As the guitar is not particularly high in the mix
I've picked out bass notes and written down the corresponding guitar chord
for any parts which I wasn't 100% but the end result should definitely be
recognisable and from the recorded version. Use an acoustic guitar if
possible and don't forget that on the CD it's playing alongside drums,
violin, bass and Martin's vocals. Pay attention to the number of beats
for which each chord lasts (written in brackets) and concentrate on
getting your strumming right and your halfway there...
If you not already visited it check out Arnaut's unofficial Skyclad web
page!
Hope I've done Mr Ramsey justice. If he (Mr. Ramsey) or you think not and
have any improvements to make then contact me at

(Dm)Walking my personal Calvary mile to a (C)do it yourself
cruci(Am)fixion
It;s a (Dm) Kingdom of clowns wearing martyrdom's frown, I (C) fight for

We're an (C) endless procession of lost dispossessed unbel(Dm)ievers
Whose (C) prayers go unheard and unanswered, unheard and unanswered like
junk mail for Je(A)sus

Try embelishing the chords to get the various nuances of feeling of the
song by hammering on/off various notes.
