Thanks to David with some help in the verse. Notes: Verse - It is finger picked. I tried to get it as close as I could. There might be a couple notes that I missed since he pick the notes fast. But I put down the basic layout. Chorus - This is pretty close. A lot closer than my last tab of this song. Just listen to the song for when to play each chord. Bridge - Just some octave riffs . . . sounds like some Zeppelin influence. Other - There are a lot of fills in this song. I tried to add as many as I could. Anything else you want to know you can email me.

I’m rusted and weathered Barely holding together I’m covered with skin that peels And it just won’t heal The sun shines and I can’t avoid the light I think I’m holding on to life too tight Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Sometimes I feel like giving up Sometimes I feel like giving up Me . . . I’m rusted and weathered Barely holding together I’m covered with skin that peels And it just won’t heal The day reminds me of you The night hides your truth The earth is a voice Speaking to you Take all this pride And leave it behind Because one day it ends One day we die Believe what you will That is your right But I choose to win So I choose to fight To fight
