I'm not tabbing the instrumental intro. This tab starts just before the lyrics.

Intro: Em B

Em 
Now there's a singer everyone has heard
Em
At night he turns into a mocking bird
                                       B
If I whistle in the dark he'll do that too.
  Em
I met him on the road at the close of day
G
Talk like me, walk this way 
         Em                B             Em
I said "Mocking bird, you ain't no widowmaker".


Em
And there is a singer everybody knows, 
Em
he makes round with late night show,
                                  B
Shake the hands in the hopes that the masquerade is on,
Em                                        Am
You turn him off on the radio when he say me and my shadow,
B            
Shoot out the lights my shadow's gone.

Em
Down at the bottom of the calendar day
Em
find my roots yeah you'll see all eight
Em                                                         B
if I'm tied up to the tracks, then he's chained up to the road

(Down at the bottom of the calendar day)
Em                                                Am
And it's one for the money, two for the show, for me and my shadow.
B                                     Em
Shoot out the lights and my shadow's gone
B                                      Em
Shoot out the lights and my shadow is gone

Instr: Em x3 B

Em
There is a shadow everyone has heard,
Em
At night he turns into a mocking bird,
                                        B
If I whistle in the dark, he'll do that too
Em                              Am
I met him on the road today, a silhouette on a black highway 
        Em                 B                          Em
I said "You can have this world, this world is not my own"
                Em                 B                          Em
Then he said " You can keep this world, this world is not my home".
