Awake My Soul Lyrics

Key: G Major (or Em) (No Capo)
I usually do Chords, but I wanted to try something different, so this will be my first Tab.
I've looked at a variety of ways to play it, and I think this one seems to suit me best,
but of course, feel free to leave any comments below on any improvements or suggestions
that can be made or thumbs up!
NOTE* Many and Most of the "melodic lines are "piano parts" tabbed for guitar.
Chords Used
For the Burning Lights intro, it fades in very quietly and it's very hard to pick up what
chords are being played, but it sounds like they open with a "G-chord" and sustain it for
about three measures before the guitar part comes in.
Burning Lights Intro (After 3 measures of "G-chord" fade in):

Lead Electric: (If you have a good ear, you'll hear more than two notes played at a time.
You can either use a delay pedal, or you can add a "pick-up note" on the &
of 1 and 3, which I denoted at the 44 second mark).
