Chromium appeared originally on "After Everything Now This" and was an electric version.
There's a remixed electronic version on Parallel Universe. There's also an acoustic
on The Church's "El Momento Descuidado" and Marty Willson-Piper's solo live CD "Live
the Other Side."
The lyrics appear in different order in different versions. The chords and lyrics here
from the acoustic live version on Willson-Piper's live album.
