Notes: 1. Played using bar chords
2. Basic pattern of finger picking throughout intro, the root note is
the only thing that changes for the most part.
3. Only three fingers are used while plucking strings, the thumb,
Index, and Middle.
4. Spacing isn’t perfect when doing tabs so notes that are to be
played together may not be “in line” with each other (vertically)
but i put them as close as i could, experiment, you’ll figure it
out.

A|--7-----7---------------------|-----------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|--8------8-------------------------|

The intro is almost done… here comes the hard part.

After the second C7, the chord progression stays the same (Em,C7,Em,B7) exept the Em and
B7 split the measure (two beats a piece). I’m sure you can figure out the picking pattern.

After those two (Em & B7) share the measure, it goes like this: (this is the part that
like it’s winding downward)

[(Em)] [(D)] [(C)] [(B7)]

e|----------------------------------------------7--|
B|----8-----------7-----------5------------7-------|
D|----9---------------7-----------5--------8-------|
G|--------------------7-----------5----------------|
A|--7-----7----5----------3------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------7---------|

And that’s it, it starts over at the beginning of the song, going from B7 back to Em.

The end is a little sketchy still, i’m working on it, feel free to add comments though,
like to see what you guys think. It souds good when i play it but sorry for wasting your
if it was a complete failure!

Lyrics

Pretty lady on my mind got me gone again
She tell me it’s all in a line and I’m on again
But I Won’t worry I’ll be free yeah
I’ll be the only child of the love I see

( chorus )
I’ve been known to take my time
I’ve been told that I’m alright
I don’t know if I’m your kind
All I know is that you are
On my mind

I live a life that others live but I’m far away
I play the cards you roll the dice and we’ll play the game
ANd If I win I’ll sweetly say yeah
Anna, you missed the moon today

( chorus )

All my energies
All my lazy days
Keep remindin me
that you go on and on and
you’re on my mind

The darkness falls the shadows break and the dawn returns
And even then I can’t explain how deep it burns
Let your thoughts release the cold
And you’ll find the body’s youger than the soul

In the prechorus there is a little riff that goes something like this:

C C7 C(Cm?)C C7

e–0–0–0–0–0–0–|
B–1–3–1–0–1–3–|
D–0–0–0–0–0–0–|
G–2–2–2–2–2–2–|
A–3–3–3–3–3–3–|
E–0–0–0–0–0–0–|

but you can play it without the riffage.

This isn’t exact, but it’s nice to be able to sing along with some adaptation. If anyone
a better way of doing this, please let me know, or post it or both!

Fellow countrymen gather round
and set your minds at ease.
There?s nothing new for you to figure out,
it?s just your hearts we need.
So kiss your mamas and say goodbye.
But tell her not to forget
about our fathers who bled and died
so she?d have someone to miss.

Em D C, C7-C-Cm-C-C7
Most of you will be home again
Em D C, C7-C-Cm-C-C7
though some may find their way to Heaven.
But rest assured they?ll arrive as free men.

I believe in this one because the cause is good
and we won?t fight cause we have to but because we should
and I can see what it is and what it means to be united.
You can?t destroy the rock upon which freedom stands.
Oh brothers it?s time for war again.

So wear your colors but wear them proud
like millions have before,
cause they were sewn by the hands of God
and they?ve never ever been torn.

Most of you will be home again
though some may find their way to Heaven.
But rest assured we?ll arrive as free men.

I believe in this one because the cause is good
and we won?t fight cause we have to but because we should
and I can see what it is and what it means to be united.
You can?t destroy the rock upon which freedom stands.
Oh brothers it?s time for war again.

(Repeat chorus 2X)
(on second round, repeat the line, “You can’t destroy…” 3X)
