here is my interpretation of "Precious Declaration".

all gtrs tune down 1/2 step. (flat)

riff 1 
E------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------
A----------------5-------------------------------
E--0---5---7--------7---5---0---3---0--00--x-x---


verse:

p.m.|----------------------------------------------|
G

riff
1(twice) 
Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town

p.m.|----------------------------------------------|
G

riff
1(twice)
Then proceeded where thieves are no longer found

pre-chorus:

G                   C                      G
Oh,can't crash now. I've been waiting for this.

G                    C                     G
Oh, won't crash now. I found some encouragement

chorus:

G                                                                          C
This precious declaration reads, yours is yours and mine you leave alone now.

G                          C
Precious declaration says, I believe all hope is dead no longer.

bridge:

A                                                              B       
Once I jumped through hoops of fire, as high and far as you required.

A                                      B
I was blind but now I see, salvation has discovered me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is the song as far as i have it. the solo is blended with some other
instruments and is difficult to transcribe. below are the lyrics for the
second verse and second chorus. for the interlude, the muted notes in the
main riff are destroyed(not played). some of this may be wrong, so...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


verse 2:
New meanings to the words I feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom

pre-chorus 2:
Oh, can't break now
I've been living for this

Oh, won't break now
I'm blessed with hopefulness

chorus 2:
IT'S THE SAME AS THE FIRST AND THE THIRD.

outro:
(play riff 1 four times)
