I've transcribed the solo acoustic and the acoustic lead stuff, but I didn't mess with the Ebowed guitar in the background.

Guitar 1 Acoustic Guitar 2 Classical Acoustic Intro w/Intro Lead Verse 1: This is for the man, who never learned to read or write He worked two jobs instead of going to school I know it hurt you as a child, please remember all the while That God weeps too Verse 2: This is for the widow, who now must sleep alone When the memory of a kiss will have to do Every night when she lays down, you can almost hear the sound When God weeps too Chorus: God weeps too, God weeps too Though we question Him for all that we go through Still it helps me believe and my pain it does relieve When I think that, God weeps too Intro w/Solo 1 x2 Verse 3: And for every survivor of the wickedness of man Whether you're a black man or a Jew Some people kill in Jesus' name, He is not the one to blame 'Cause even God weeps too Chorus x 2 Extro/Intro x 4 w/Solo 2 And I never really thought about it Not that much about it, but God weeps too x2
