I put this together after watching this live performance. Its pretty easy to pick up the
strumming pattern by just listening to the song.

Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: G Cadd9 Em7 D
[G]Farther alon[Cadd9]g well know[Em7] all about [D]it
[G]Farther alon[Cadd9]g well unde[Em7]rstand why[D]
[G]Cheer up my brothe[Cadd9]rs, live i[Em7]n the sunshin[D]e
[G]Well understa[Cadd9]nd this, all b[Em7]y and by[D]
[G]Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The goo[Cadd9]d man died, the bad man thrives
And Jes[Em7]us cries because he loves em both[D]
Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
[G]Hangin on by the last threads of our hope[Cadd9]
In a house of mirrors full of sm[Em7]oke
Confusing illusions Ive seen[D]
W[G]here did I go wrong, I sang along
To ever[Cadd9]y chorus of the song
That the devil[Em7] wrote like a piper at the gates
[D]Leading mice and men down to their fates[G]
But some will courageously escap[Cadd9]e
The seductive voice with a heart of fait[Em7]h
While walkin that line back[D] home
So much more to life than [G]weve been told
Its full o[Cadd9]f beauty that will unfold
And shi[Em7]ne like you struck gold my wayward son[D]
That deadweight burden weighs a ton[G]
Go down into the river and let it run[Cadd9]
And wash away all the things youve done[Em7]
Forgiveness alrig[D]ht
Chorus
Intro 2x
[G]Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock [Cadd9]and a compromise
Like the trut[Em7]h and pack of lies fightin for my soul[D]
And Ive got no place left go[G]
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown[Cadd9]
More glory than the world has known[Em7]
Keeps me ramblin on[D]
Skipping like a ca[G]lf loosed from its stall
Im fre[Cadd9]e to love once and for all
And eve[Em7]n when I fall Ill get back up[D]
For the joy that overflows my cup[G]
Heaven filled me with more than enough[Cadd9]
Broke down my levee and my bluff[Em7]
Let the flood wash me[D]
[G]And one day when the sky rolls back on us
[Cadd9]Some rejoice and the others fuss
[Em7]Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess[D]
That the son of god is forever blessed
[G]His is the kingdom, were the guests[Cadd9]
So put your voice up to the test[Em7]
Sing Lord, come soon[D]
Chorus
