[Verse]
 E
Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
 A                                             E
Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song
                B
Well, they're putting up resistance
       A             B                E
But I know that my faith will lead me on
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, have some time to search my soul
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
 
[Chorus 1]
          A                   E
I don't know where life will lead me
       A                E
But I know where I've been
         A                  E
I can't say what life will show me
       A               E
But I know what I've seen
          G#7               C#m
Tried my hand at love and friendship
         G#7               C#m
But all that is past and gone
F#                        B
This little boy is moving on
 
[Verse]
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo, knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
 
[Chorus 2]
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
I can't say where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is moving on
 
[Verse]
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo, knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
 
[Outro]
E
Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo.

Dude, your chords sound dead on (from memory) - but aint no way i can get my little finger to do the E twiddling you suggest (again tho, i think you're right about it). My get out is to Capo 2nd, transpose all chords achordingly, and play your E twiddle as a D, Dsus2, D5 (ie just 4th 3rd and 2nd strings of D chord) then back to Dsus2. Sounds acceptable.

Like this... D xxO232 Dsus2 xx0230 D5 xx023x Dsus2 xx0230. NB capo 2nd - me sure the tabber got the right key.
