First I must say, it's sad that this song more famous than it is. I discovered it myself last summer, and fell in love with it. So I decided to learn it. First the tab, and then I wanted to play it with chords, just try to get the sound of it. I'm not sure if it's 100% correct, but it sounds ok in my ears. What you need: A guitar in standard tuning A capo placed on the 2nd fret Strumming pattern: I use D-D-U-U-D If you listen to the song he quite often builds up from a Em to a G chord. So if you want to add that part, well he does is the following on your lowest E-string. E:|0-2-3 and then play the G-chord. Feel free to correct me, send me a pm or leave a msg in the comments section and I'll try to fix the wrong part(s). I know the chordsplacements aren't 100% accurate, but I've done it by ear from the way I remember the song, so bare with me. ;) Oh, and FYI, I got the lyrics from a random site, and from what I've checked, he uses different lyrics on almost every recording I've heard. Not much I can do am I afraid : ) ----------------------------------------- Intro: G-B7-Em-C-G-B7-Em G (320003@1) B7 (x21202@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) Well I used to walk along the opposite side of the road G (320003@1) B7 (x21202@1) Emand (022000@1)made others get out of my way G (320003@1) B7 (x21202@1) Em (022000@1) CI (x32010@1)used to think that I could sit and wait for the times G (320003@1) B7 (x21202@1) Em (022000@1)but I know I should meet them halfway Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) B7I'm (x21202@1)halfway home and I'm on my own Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) B7I'm (x21202@1)halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) B7I (x21202@1)plan to leave here after supper time, that's when traffic is light, all I Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) B7 (x21202@1) Emneed (022000@1)is a sign and I'll be alright.
