Song: When it comes my Turn
Album: Things Have Changed

Tuning: Standard - Capo on 1st Fret

This is a great, catchy folk song that I first heard last night on CBC and I couldn't
it out of my head since. I went on Youtube today and found a bunch of videos of David
performing this song live. I'll be ordering his CD soon, but for now, this tab reflects 
live versions I've seen on t.v. and youtube. I haven't heard the album version, so please
any variations.

The song's very simple. Myles starts by playing an E chord, and hammering on the G
and probably doing something on the B string? This is the basic outline, sounds 100% correct
my ears.


(Chorus)
A                                E
I?m getting old but I?m not old yet
                 B                  E
I?m already worried that I might forget
                      A
How to laugh, how to love
                      E
How to live, how to learn
                       B             A       E
I want to die with a smile when it comes my turn

I don?t want to get weary, don?t want to get bored
Don?t want to get tired, walking down this road
I?ve seen that happen so many times
I just want to believe that its still worth trying

Chorus

But I know that it?s easier said than done
And I ain?t that different from anyone
I worry about my money, got bills that I can?t pay
I swear I?m more like my father everyday

Chorus

Maybe I?ll start bowling, maybe I?ll play bridge
Maybe I?ll join a band with my own grandkids
I don?t care if it kills me I?m gonna do what it takes
To keep some warmth in my heart and a smile on my face

Chorus

End on E.
