[Intro]
 
D Bm G
D Bm G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
  D           Bm          G                   D    Bm    G
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
  D           Bm          G          D    Bm    G
Makes her body older than it really is
  D                         Bm
And she says it's high time she went away
     G                       D    Bm    G
No ones got much to say in this time
  D           Bm          G     D    A
Trouble is the only way is down,   down, down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  D
As strong as you were
             Bm
Tender you got
                    F#m
I'm watching you breathing
               G
For the last time
                  D
A song for your heart
             Bm
But when it is quiet
                    F#m
I know what it means
               G
And I'll carry you home
                  D
I'll carry you home
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D    Bm    G
D    Bm    G
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  D                            Bm
If she had wings she would fly away
         G                            D    Bm    G
And another day God will give her some
  D           Bm          G     D   A
Trouble is the only way is down,   down, down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 D
As strong as you were
              Bm
Tender you got
                            A             G*
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                 D
A song for your heart
               Bm
But when it is quiet
                 F#m
I know what it means
               G*
I'll carry you home
                D
I'll carry you home
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  G                    D
And they all want pretty
                   A
New York City lights
  G                     D                           A
And summer's little girl has been taken from the world tonight
  G          D          A
But the stars and stripes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  D
As strong as you were
            Bm
Tender you got
                          F#m             G
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                   D
A song for your heart
               Bm
But when it is quiet
                F#m
I know what it means
                     G
And i'll carry you home
               D     Bm    G
I'll carry you home
 
  D
As strong as you were
            Bm
Tender you got
                          F#m             G
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                   D
A song for your heart
               Bm
But when it is quiet
                F#m
I know what it means
                     G
And I'll carry you home
               D     Bm    G
I'll carry you home

Great job. The only one litle mistake - in the verse "...I'm watching you breathing..." - its not to be blayed chord ~A~, but its rather ~Fmi#~. ~ales

Good tab! :D Really accurate- thanks! :D It really helped! :D But aren't the lyrics of the bridge wrong?? I thought they were "and they're all born pretty in new york city tonight, and someone's little girl was taken from the world tonight under the stars and the stripes"? :P! Or am I just being dopey?? :D In any case, well done! :D
