So, I got inspired today to write up an acoustic version of this song. It

actually

sounds really close to the original; I just didn't bother with the major

riffs

and breakdown of the song. Tuned to D Standard, it will match right up with

the

recording.

I fiddle around with hammer-ons and pull-offs with these chords for the

intro:

E Esus E7 E7II
e|-0----0----0----0-

b|-0----0----0----3-

g|-1----2----1----1-

d|-2----2----0----0-

a|-2----2----2----2-

E|-0----0----0----0-

Also, this is the B5 chord I'm using in the chorus; any other B chord doesn't

sound right:

B5
e|-2-

b|-2-

g|-4-

d|-4-

a|-2-

E|-2-

Verse 1:

E5 (play variants through verse)

Since the new world order played upon our fears

Spreading accusations of radical ideas

The brotherhood of wisdom: strength and dignity

Its rituals and secrets remain a mystery

Pre-chorus:

F# G F# G F#
Beneath an ever watchful eye, the angels of the temple fly

Chorus:

B5 A2
Turn the key, walk through the gate
