This is an alternative way to play the song that I think sounds pretty good. Its sort of a mixture between a tab version of the song and a chord version. There is no capo for this version but tune the guitar like this: EADGAd Sine the two bottom strings are tuned down play the chords like this: C: 032000 Em: 022000 G: 320000 D: 000200 For the chorus it sounds best if the chords are played like this: Em: 079000 D: 057000 C: 035000 Although you could just play them the same way as in the verses if you prefer. Verse 1: C Em G C I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us. Em G C And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greeness. Em G C And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in, Em G C And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim. Verse 2: C Em G C I'm walkin' back down this mountain with the strength of a turnin' tide Em G C Oh the wind's so soft on my skin, the sun so hard upon my side. Em G C Oh lookin' out at this happiness, I search for between the sheets. Em G C Oh feelin' blind and realize, all I was searchin' for was me. Em G C D Ooh all I was searchin' for was me. Chorus: (use the second alternative set of chords) Em D C Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no, no, no, no. Em D C Keep your mind set,keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin' Em D C Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no no no no. Em D C Keep your mind set in your ways, keep your heart strong. Verse 3: (switch back to the first set of chords) C Em G C I saw a friend of mine the other day, and he told me that my eyes were gleamin'. Em G C Oh I said I had been away, and he knew, oh he knew the depths I was meanin'. Em G C And it felt so good to see his face, or the comfort invested in my soul. Em G C Oh to feel the warmth of a smile, when he said "I'm happy to have you home. Em G C D Ooh I'm happy to have you home." Chorus: (use the second alternative set of chords) Em D C Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no, no, no, no. Em D C Keep your mind set,keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin' Em D C Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no no no no. Em D C Keep your mind set in your ways, keep your heart strong. Em G C 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Em G C Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change. Em D C Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no, no, no, no. Em D C Keep your mind set,keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin' Em D C Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no no no no. Em D C Keep your mind set in your ways, keep your heart strong. Em G C 'Cause I'll always remember you the same. Em G C Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change. Thanks! Hope you like this!
