[Verse 1]
Csus2                    Am
  There is freedom within,  there is freedom without
F                                    E     Asus2/E
  Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Csus2                    Am
  There's a battle ahead,   many battles are lost
F
  But you'll never see the end of the road
             E
while you're travelling with me
 
[Chorus]
F        G              C          Am
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
F        G                 C           Am
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
F          G         C                    Am
They come, they come   to build a wall between us
F                        F   G
  We know they won't win
 
[Verse 2]
Csus2                  Am
  Now I'm towing my car,  there's a hole in the roof
F                                             E                 Asus2/E
  My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
Csus2               Am
  In the paper today,  tales of war and of waste
F                                   E
  But you turn right over to the TV page
 
[Chorus]
F        G              C          Am
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
F        G                 C           Am
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
F          G         C                    Am
They come, they come   to build a wall between us
F             F         F
  We know they won't win
 
[Instrumental]
Csus2    Am    F    E
Csus2    Am    F    E
F  C  F  C  F  C  Bb    Bb
 
[Verse 3]
Csus2                  Am
  Now I'm walking again,  to the beat of the drum
F                                                E      Asus2/E
  And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Csus2               Am
  Only shadows ahead,  barely clearing the roof
F                                      E
 Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
 
[Chorus]
F/D      G/E            C          Am
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
F        G                 C           Am
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
F          G         C                    Am
They come, they come   to build a wall between us
F             F         F
  We know they won't win
 
[Outro]
F  G  C  Am
(repeat)
Don't let them win
Hey now, hey now

Ooops! I meant Csus2 at the beginning of each verse, not Csus4. Sorry!

playing it in Eb tuning but 1 fret up is exactly the same as playing it the way that JonPebble has tabbed it and yes Neil plays it without a capo, but for some of us it's hard to barre a C grow up John

Excellent tab. And as you have in the music, much easier when the G is played with a bar on the 3rd fret rather than the usual way. Makes it so much easier to move into the Csus2 at ths start of each verse. I love playing this. Can't believe Crowded House only have 60 or so tabs here.
