Ben Harper's Glory and Consequence from The Will to Live

This song is tabbed out for a guiter tuned to E (EADGBe),
but Ben tunes his guitars down to D(DGCFAd) and then plays this
tune a tone higher, i.e A, but you can still play along 
as if the tune was in G.

Riff 1
Clean
    F                      C                    G
e---1----------------------3--------------------3--------------------3
B---1----------------------5--------------------3--------------------3

A---3----------------------3--------------------5--------------------5
E---1-------------------------------------------3--------------------3

This is both the intro riff and the chorus riff, and the chord
structure also does for the solo.

the verse riff goes like this
     C               F        G
e----3---------------1-------------------------------------
B----5---------------1-------------------------------------
G----5---------------2-------------------------------------
D----5---------------3--------5----------------------------
A----3---------------3--------5----------------------1--1--
E--------------------1--------3--1--3--1--3--1--3--1-------

there are two guitars playing at this point, with the acoustic playing
the above riff, and an electric just playing the chords.

Lyrics:
C          F         G    C       F            G
i'm more afraid of living than i am scared to die
C          F         G    C       F            G   
im more afraid of falling than i am of flying high

F       C          G    F           C          G
every moral has a story and every story has an end
F       C             G    F        C     G
every battle has its glory and its consequence

(repeat the above pattern)
im more afraid of loving than i am of being scorned
but i will keep on trying though i have been forewarned

every moral has a story and every story has an end
every battle has its glory and its consequence

i would rather be lonely and you have someone to hold
im not as scared of dying as i am of growing old

every moral has a story and every story has an end
every battle has its glory and its consequence


Maybe ill get around to tabbing the solo a bit later. till then
