but power chords, open chords, or what ever you dig can also be used

The 3rd and 4th verse are the same except
the 4th verse has and extra line:

3rd verse
A D
Surrender down comes everything
A D
Breathes no more and falls to sleep
A D
Blind and helpless sick and dead
A A


4th verse
A D
Treasure waits complete and there
A D
With scattered needles everywhere
A D
Thorn at the end of every road
A D
Thorn at the end of every road
A A

Then the song goes into the chorus and the post
chorus ascending part, call it a bridge if you like.
The A holds on twice as long at the end of the ascending
pattern also.
