Song: River of Love
Album: Vigilantes of Love

Capo on 3rd fret. It's really in Bb, but notated below as if in G.

Bill's <Lick>:
D---2----0-----------
A-------------0h2p0--
E------------------3-

Also, when he plays any C, G pattern it sounds like this (IMHO):
  [C]       [G]
---0---0-----3--
---1---1-----0--
---0---0-----0--
---0h2-2p0---0--
---3---3-----2--

     C         G                C       G
your spirit is strong but i'm a nervous wreck
        C          G           D               D
there's something about you so fragile and delicate
           C            G             C            G
if i could wrap up your innocence i'd have it done quick
Em                              D           C,G,C,G
keep it from the wolves in this present darkness

               C        G            C        G
you trade your crown of thorns for a crown of joy
      C          G                D 
i was wearing my weariness like a badge of glory
       C           G               C         G
you're seeking the treasures after nothing remains
      Em                      D           C,G,C,G
i was checking my pockets and counting my change


Chorus:
C               D           G
        now the words in my ears
C               Em
        and the wind up above
C              D       G         Em
        i will shed my skin as i jump right in
                D        C,G,C,G
        to this river of love

You get moved by the spirit, I'm so outta touch.
You're down on your knees, I'm down on my luck.
You're doing your labor in the fields of the Lord.
I've been working hard at nothing in this cheap room and board.

Chorus:

Your spirit is willing but my flesh is weak.
used to give my pronouncements, now it's harder to speak
and dig up a word that is good for the soul.
'cause down in these mines there's a lot of fool's gold.

Chorus:
C               D           G
        now the words in my ears
C               Em
        and the wind up above
C              D       G         Em
        i will shed my skin as i jump right in
                D        G
        to this river of love
C              D       G         Em
        i will shed my skin as i jump right in
                D        G
        to this river of love
C              D       G         Em
        i will shed my skin as i jump right in
                D        C,G,C,G,C,G,D,G
        to this river of love
