Tuning: Standard

This is 100% correct as far as the key and root notes. However, as a bass player you can 
obviously embellish and add your own style.

You?re playing the root notes throughout entire song. Here?s a tabbed view.

G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|--3--------6-----3---------|
E|-----4--6-----1-----1--3---|

I like to include the minor 7th at the beginning of the measure. I also double up on 
some notes, but the point is that as long as you?re hitting the root notes ? you can make 
this song your own.


    C        Ab             Bb           Eb
The young man stands on the edge of his porch
    F        C            F         G
The days were short and the father was gone
          C            Ab        Bb             Eb
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
     F           C             F           G
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield


Bass comes in at the end of Vs 1 (0:33)

          C            Ab           Bb         Eb
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
    F          C               F               G
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
  C            Ab            Bb            Eb
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
     F      C               F       G
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
   C           Ab              Bb         Eb
So collect your courage and collect your horse
     F            C             F        G
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse

(Bass is quiet during the first chorus)

Chorus 1
C      Ab         Bb        Eb
Seal my heart and brake my pride
     F         C            F         G
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
 C      Ab         Bb        Eb
Align my heart, my body, my mind
   F             C       F    G
To face what I've done and do my time

      C        Ab            Bb          Eb
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
F             C            F        G
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
   C      Ab         Bb         Eb
So one man has and another has not
F          C           F          G
How can you love what it is you have got
         C          Ab             Bb            Eb
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
F        C                   F         G
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store

      C          Ab           Bb            Eb
There will come a time I will look in your eye
    F               C           F         G
You will pray to the God that you always denied
    C          Ab             Bb      Eb
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
               F      C               F   G
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

C      Ab         Bb        Eb
Seal my heart and brake my pride
     F         C            F         G
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
 C      Ab         Bb        Eb
Align my heart, my body, my mind
   F             C       F    G
To face what I've done and do my time

(Instrumental Bridge)
It is simply double time what you have been playing.

     C       Ab        Bb          Eb
Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
  F             C            F             G
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
C         Ab          Bb      Eb
I went out back and I got my gun
             F      C               F   G
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
