Chords
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 B7 Em C Well I used to walk along the opposite side of the road G B7 Em and made others get out of my way G B7 Em C I used to think that I could sit and wait for the times G B7 Em but I know I should meet them halfway Em C G B7 I'm halfway home and I'm on my own Em C G B7 I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind Em C G B7 I plan to leave here after supper time, that's when traffic is light, all I Em C G B7 Em need is a sign and I'll be alright. I'll be fine G B7 Em C Well I used to think that i could just sleep and then I would dream G B7 Em And everything it would just come to me G B7 Em C Until I woke one day without anything to eat G B7 Em Lying on the opposite side of the street Em C G B7 I'm halfway home and I'm still out on my own Em C G B7 I'm halfway there and I don't care, I don't mind Em C G Because it ain't my time not to stay or say B7 Em C G Well I can't say, but you can bet that i will play my heart out B7 I'll won't lay. G B7 Em C I used to think that I could just sit and wait for the times G B7 Em But I know I gotta meet them halfway Em C G B7 I'm halfway home I tried running with the flow Em C G B7 I'm halfway there. Ain't it funny how everybody seems to care Em C G I planned to get there around supper time their serving up bread and wine B7 Em C G All I needed was a sign and I guess I'll be alright. Em C G B7 I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be alright, I'll be alright. Em C G B7 It seems to be a running theme about being fine and alright but I don't mind. Em C G B7 I'll be fine Em I'll be fine
