This is basically a version of this song that will sound much nicer and open when played 
just an acoustic guitar. The chords are played as follows (don't forget fret numbers 
relative to the capo!):


E: 022100
C#m: x46650
B: 024400
A: x02220
E/Ab: 422100 ...if this is too difficult, it can be played as a regular Ab bar chord: 466544

Using these chords will really give this song a nice open sound when playing alone..enjoy!

Caught a bolt of lightning,    cursed the day he let it go

She once believed   in every story he had to tell
E                     C#m  B       C#m    A
One day she stiffened,     took the other side
E           C#m           B          C#m            A
Empty stares    from each corner of a shared prison cell

   C#m
One just escapes,    one's left inside the well

                  B
Burn, burn, burn  burn
