Based on videos, he plays capo 3 and picks out the first two verses. Not sure about the
Amadd11, but it's close enough. Also, not even remotely sure about the bridge but it
still sounds good with the flow of the song.

In the half-life of the city,

Into a valley of dry bones

All alone

Verse 4:
G/B Gsus4/C G5
So, I set fires of starlight,
G/B Gsus4/C G5
To burn up against the despair

I was caught in the tangles of midnight's
Em C
Long, unanswered prayer:
G/B Gsus4/C G5
'Are you there?'
Chorus 3:
C Em
And the light of morning grows
C Em
On a field of fallen sparrows
C Em
I was longing for a home

Oh, Theo...
