It's missing some strumming information and subtle chord variations, and the lyrics may not be 100% correct because it's hard to hear some of the words in the song, but I did my best with it. I made this to be easier to play along with than the tabbed version.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: E A D G B E

should you have them

if there's no wine

Your words are wisdom

Should you ever wonder
              D             D
Where all the time has gone
                Bm6   GM7/B
You'll find the answer
         D         D
Far away from home

And when you are crying your tears are like wine
