From this point on the guitar is a lot harder to hear and the playing is somewhat more complex. The chord
structure is the same though so if you just follow that and add your own embellishments, it should shound
right. 


[Third Verse]

Chords are placed loosely in relation to the lyrics because the timing of Walker's singing is strange. 
Changes happen at the beginning of each bar though, as they do above, so if you just keep that in mind then 
it's easy.

E           E           D              D          Bm   Bm F#m B
In the unbroken darkness where emptiness empties alone

D                     D        C                  C           G     G F#m B
There's no starting or stopping where there is no right or no wrong


[Fourth Verse]

E                         E           D           D             Bm   Bm F#m B
Well that's all right for some who can hang the absurd on their wall

D                         D                  C            C             G    G F#m B
If your blind hands can't grope through these measureless waters you'll fall


[Fifth Verse]

E                     E           D            D           Bm   Bm F#m B
You've been following patterns and fleeting sensations too long

       D              D            C          C          G    G F#m B
And the fullness that fills up the pulse of durations is gone


[Sixth Verse]

E                     E       D           D        Bm    Bm F#m B
Let the great constellation of flickering ashes be heard

D                    D          C            C         G   G        F#m  B
Let them burn with a fire all it takes to confess is a word, just a word


[Seventh Verse]

E               E          D                   D          Bm   Bm      F#m    B
I can recommend angels I've watched as they've made a man strong oh so strong

D                  D             C                  C        G     G F#m B
If your humbleness shows then I'm sure that they'll take you along


[Eithgh Verse]

E                     E       D                 D       Bm    Bm F#m B
You can tell them who sent you it might help to get you above

D           D              C                   C          G       G   D
You can say that he laughed and he walked like St. Francis with love
