A                                        E
My friend says that the end holds nothing more
                   B                     C#Minor
He don't hide his shame, says its all the same
       A     B         E
Like a man without a name
 
 
INTRO AGAIN
 
 
A                                   E
Old days asleep in the shade by the Brandywine
             B              C#Minor
See a dog get paid, see a boy behave
      A      B         E       E(add 4th fret on
E)
Every bone deserves a grave
 
 
E5     D#5         D5       C#5
But I heard the Good Lord's warning
         F#5  F5   E5       D#5
like he might not forget by the morning
G#Minor        C#Minor  G#Minor
With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
A                    C
ooh oooooh oooh
 
 
INTRO AGAIN
 
 
A                                    E
My Lord, I'm climbing aboard and I'm going home
           B                C#Minor
No time to lose, no time to pack
       A         B       E     E(add 4th fret on
E)
Take a step and take it back
 
 
E5     D#5         D5       C#5
But I heard the Good Lord's warning
         F#5  F5   E5       D#5
like he might not forget by the morning
G#Minor        C#Minor  G#Minor
With no more terrifying thoughts of dying
A                    C
ooh oooooh oooh
 
 
E                                 C#Minor
Keep on with the living you'll soon enough be dead
             A           G#Minor       F#Minor
You got the whole world spinning in your head
                                  E
and you don't want to give it up (don't give it up, don't give it up)
 
E                                    C#minor
Cause no one should be sorry, we're just another day
         A  G#Minor  F#Minor
You can say you'll be back
                                                E
but you won't ever go away (won't go away, won't go away)
 
E                                     C#Minor
Cause love that never leaves is never ever welcome back
         A   G#Minor  F#Minor
and i'm running out of skin thick enough to hide in
E
(won't go away, won't go away)
 
E                                          C#Minor
Now hand in hand we're back in time we're chasing the train
A             G#Minor           F#minor
Looking back looking back to wave goodbye
                                    E
we're headed for the same disaster (don't give it up, don't give it up)
 
 
They play this lick a lot on the outro part

Of course there are some other licks and solos, I have decided not to tab those.  Sorry
there are some alignment issues.  Have fun.

I think the descending chord section is more like this: and the lead-in chord is E7 (w/ a high G#) E | E/Eb | E7/D | D#7 | F#m | D#aug (F#mM7)| F#m/E | F#m6 (B9)| B6 | B7/F# | C#m | G#m | A | C | something like this... (bar markers are NTS) e|-4-|---------------4----|---2---------------|---4---5---4---4---|--5--0-| b|-3-|---9---9---9---6----|---2---2---2---2---|---4---4---5---4---|--5--1-| g|-4-|---9---9---9---4----|---2---2---2---2---|---4---x---6---4---|--6--0-| d|-x-|---9---9---9---6----|---4---3---2---1---|---4---4---6---6---|--7--2-| a|-2-|---7---x---x---4----|---4---4---4-------|---2-------4---6---|--7--3-| e|-0-|---0---11--10-------|---2---------------|---------------4---|--5----|
