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)

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong, no, no, no, no.

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.

Keep your mind set,keep your hair long. Oh my my darlin'

Oh eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
