I put this together after watching this live performance. Its pretty easy to pick up the 
strumming pattern by just listening to the song.

Capo 2nd Fret

Intro: G  Cadd9  Em7  D

G           Cadd9      Em7        D
Farther along well know all about it
G           Cadd9      Em7           D
Farther along well understand why
G                 Cadd9     Em7          D
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
G            Cadd9         Em7        D
Well understand this, all by and by

G
Tempted and tried, I wondered why
       Cadd9
The good man died, the bad man thrives
       Em7                                             D
And Jesus cries because he loves em both

Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
G					  Cadd9
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope
				Em7
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
			     D
Confusing illusions Ive seen

 G
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
       Cadd9
To every chorus of the song
              Em7
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
D						G
Leading mice and men down to their fates
				Cadd9
But some will courageously escape
					Em7
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
			   D
While walkin that line back home

                          G
So much more to life than weve been told
          Cadd9
Its full of beauty that will unfold
       Em7                                                   D
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
					         G
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
				     Cadd9
Go down into the river and let it run
					   Em7
And wash away all the things youve done
	         D
Forgiveness alright

Chorus
Intro 2x

G
Still I get hard pressed on every side
	         Cadd9
Between the rock and a compromise
             Em7				                D
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul
			         G
And Ive got no place left go
					        Cadd9
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown
				     Em7
More glory than the world has known
                            D
Keeps me ramblin on

		  G
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
      Cadd9
Im free to love once and for all
       Em7			                D
And even when I fall Ill get back up
				           G
For the joy that overflows my cup
				             Cadd9
Heaven filled me with more than enough
				       Em7
Broke down my levee and my bluff
			D
Let the flood wash me

G
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Cadd9
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Em7						                    D
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess

That the son of god is forever blessed
G				              Cadd9
His is the kingdom, were the guests
				         Em7
So put your voice up to the test
		             D
Sing Lord, come soon

Chorus
