  (Spoken...) Stand up straight
	      Look through the haze
					I begin to walk
					Through the maze
	      Here they come
	      They're all up on me
				     And I'm dead to sin					Like some kind of zombie

OK, here is how the first bit goes together:

Intro/Rhy. Fig 1

Rhy. Fig. 2 x2 (= Part  x2, Part  x2,  x2,  x2)
    Except do it w/o words until chorus- (you'll see)

F# (once and fermata)

Verse 1
--------
		  
I must have been  confused or vain
	    	       
to let this evil in my brain
	      
Lord, did I   enjoy the change
	 		
that you made inside my heart

Pre-Chorus
----------
                             
Oh, here they come    but I'm not afraid
                               
there's no temptation     I can't evade

Chorus
----------
See Rhythm Fig. 2!!!

You should play the part above the words as you
 say them
This is the order:
"Stand up straight  Look through the haze
 I begin to walk  Through the maze  Here they come
  They're all up on me   And I'm dead to sin like
 Some kind of zombie"

Chorus Part II
---------------
                    
I hear you speak and I obey     (Some kind of zombie)
                    
I walked away from the grave    (Some kind of zombie)
               
I will never be afraid          (Some kind of zombie)
              
I gave my life away

Verse 2
--------
                                              
I'm obliged  and obey    I'm enslaved to what you say

Solo
-------
(only uses 1st and 2nd strings)
The 2nd guitar plays some other chords in here...
I didn't include them for this arrangement.

E---12-10----10----12-10---------12-10----10--13-15-----|
B---------13-------------13-10---------13---------------|
						(trill)
						  |
E---12-10----10----12-10---------12-10----10--15-17----|
B---------13-------------13-10---------13--------------|

Those are all the pieces- the finished product goes like
 so:
1. Intro  2. Verse 1  3. Pre-Chorus  4. Chorus
5. Chorus Part II  6. Verse 2  7. Pre-Chorus
8. Chorus  9. Chorus Part II  10. Solo
11. Rhy. Fig. 1  12. Rhy. Fig. 2  13. Chorus
14. Chorus Part II (repeat and build to finish on A
chord with word 'away' and let it die out)
