[Verse 1]
Em
Take off your hat, kick off your shoes
  C              D        Em
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
Em
Run 'round the town singin' your blues
  C              D        Em
I know you ain't goin' anywhere
 
[Chorus]
       C      D      Em
You've always been a good friend of mine,
           C        D          Em
But you're always sayin' "Farewell"
        C     D          Em
And the only time that you're satisfied
             C           D       (Riff)
Is with your feet in the wishing well

[Verse 2]
Em
Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself...
      C                D         Em
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Em
Put up a fight you believe to be right
    C             D          Em
And someday the sun will shine through
 
[Chorus]
       C       D  Em
You've always got something to hide
C             D           Em
Something you just can't tell
        C     D          Em
And the only time that you're satisfied
             C           D       (Riff)
Is with your feet in the wishing well

Nice job! It's great on acoustic. I'd suggest adding in the single note accents though. See the top tab on this song and couple it to this. That'll just make it that much more enjoyable. Thumbs-up!

Great stuff. Not a correction, as such... more just an addendum. The riff chords, for those who need them. Em, A, A, Em Em, A, G, Em Riff before middle eight: Em, A, A, Em Em, A, Am Solo is: F, G, Am F, G, Am F, G, Am F, G, Am C, D, F, G, Am Outro Riff is Am, D, D, Am (repeated 12 times).

As merely a human, without a Paul Rodgers vocal range, I find it much easier to sing in D minor.
