This song is amazing. Been playing it quite a bit.
The song has been tabbed by me BY EAR. This is no book and no machine,
just me!

every correction I get!
Josh might play this with bar-chords but I dont. So get over it.
Anyways, enjoy and go buy the album!

[D]Live or [C]die before I [Am]get it [Em]done will you de[G]cide?
[D]Take my [C]words and turn them [Am]into [Em]signs they will sur[G]vive
because a [D]long [C]time ago [Am]I [Em]knew not to de[G]prive

and when the [G]drummer drums it's gonna [Cmaj7]play my song to carry [Em]me along
[G]Like I said you know I'm [Cmaj7]almost dead, you know I'm [Em]almost gone
and when the [G]boatman comes to ferry [Cmaj7]me away to where we [Em]all belong

[D]We all [C]cross when we were [Am]feeling [Em]lost it's just the [G]time
Could [D]terry [C]cry the day her [Am]lover [Em]died she recog[G]nized
Because you [D]gave [C]her a life of [Am]real [Em]love it's no sur[G]prise
The [D]nights are [C]long but the [Am]years are [Em]short when your a[G]live
[D]Way back [C]when we?ll never [Am]be a[Em]gain it was a [G]time,
It's gonna [D]get [C]you; so glad I [Am]met [Em]you to walk the [G]line

[G]Like I said you know I'm [Cmaj7]almost dead, you know I'm [Em]almost gone
and when the [G]drummer drums it's gonna [Cmaj7]play my song to carry [Em]me along
[G]Like I said you know I'm [Cmaj7]almost dead, you know I'm [Em]almost gone
and when the [G]boatman comes to ferry [Cmaj7]me away to where we [Em]all belong
