Chords

Here Comes My Man I assume like all of Brian's songs he tunes it down a full step. I'm gonna' tab it out standard tuning, with a Capo on the third, because that's where I found it easiest to play. Standard Chords: Cm Eb Bb Ab Brian's Chords: Dm F C Bb Capo III: Am C G F This is how I play the little riff, it's not completely right, but sounds close.

Right in the moment, this order's tall

And I told you to be fine

C
And I told you to be balanced

G           F
And I told you to be kind

C
And in the morning I'll be with you

G             F
But it will be a different kind

And you'll be owning all the fines

And then who in hell am I

At the end of all your lines

C
Who will love you

Who will fight

C
Who will fall

Far behind
