This tab has additions to the previous tab. Not corrections.
Intro: The bass plays something like a D pedal and the guitars play some
misc. feedback. Then a guitar plays this:

B||------------------4b---||
G||o-------3h5p3p0-------o||
D||o---------------------o||
A||-----------------------||
D||--0--------------------||

G||------------------------------------||
D||o----------------------------------o||
A||o----------------------------------o||
D||--0--0-0-6-6-0-0-0-6-6-6-5-6-6-6----||
Play this right before the first verse (guitar 2), on the 6th string and use
a lot of vibrato!
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|

Chorus 1 riff:
E||------------------------||--------------------||

Go back to the beginning riffs. When you come back to the Chorus 1 riff,
play it 2 times. Then play:
Chorus Riff 2:
Play 4 times
G||-----------------------------|-----------------------------||
D||-x-x-x-x-12-12-x-x-x-x-12-12-|-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-10-10-||
A||-x-x-x-x-12-12-x-x-x-x-12-12-|-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-10-10-||
D||-x-x-x-x-12-12-x-x-x-x-12-12-|-x-x-x-x-10-10-x-x-x-x-10-10-||
Interlude:

A||--7----------|--R--6--3--6--5--5/6--o||
D||--7----------|--R--6--3--6--5--5/6---||
For the "It wouldn't pain me more" (last bar of interlude) the riff keeps
the same rhythm, but the notes change:
A||-0--0-0-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3--3-5--|-0--0-0-6-6-6-6-3-3-3-3--6-5--|

A||--3----------|--R--6--3--6--5--5/6--o||
D||--3----------|--R--6--3--6--5--5/6---||
Then play the 2nd chorus part and end it on the intro riff.
Lyrics:
And you stare at me in your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me you don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me like I need to be saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud like it's the coming of the Lord
And I swear to you that I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me like I'm driving the nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like it's the coming of the Lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor
In your Jesus Christ pose

Well to me it has always been about fakeness. What could be more fake than the mythological Jesus Christ who is nothing more than the avatar of various pagan religions ripped off and warped. Dunno I always imagined him singing this to a preacher or something who gets off trying to make it out like he is gods mouthpiece. Oh and I do believe most members of the band are atheist.

u know u have a truly intelligent opinion when the king of shit agrees with you. If no one will say it I will. Inviltrist is Lucifer. He is trying to corrupt us with his stupid opinions. This song is clearly about those little marshmellow peeps we get at Easter that are positioned like little "Jesus" fish, looking towards the heavens singing songs of Zeppelin. By the way i have a message for you atheists. What the fuck? You guys are cowards, afraid of your own morals and expectations. I'm sorry let me say that again in a way you'll understand it. You . . . are . . . retards. Why do you even live life if you truly believe in no greater power. Blood-sucking cult members are better than you because at least they believe in something. Grow some fucking balls and face your Faith.

Some of Chris's Audioslave lyrics kind of have a religious theme to them.

Amen to that. Closest I ever came to his vocals was Outshined and Blow Up the Outside World.
