G D* C D Bm C* G7 Em Sometimes the 4th fret G string note in the G chord can be hammered on. Often times he will add the third fret of the B string to the G chord to give a different tone, but that isn't necessary.

B G [Intro] G C D G x2 [Verse 1]
G            D*
  So I'm down and so I'm out

C               D
  But so are many others

G            D*
  So I feel like tryin' to hide

C                    D
  My head 'neath these covers

C                Bm
  Life is like the seasons

      C      C*        D
After winter comes the spring

G                  D*
  So I'll keep this smile awhile

    C          D       G
And see what tomorrow brings
G C D G [Verse 2]
G              D*
  I've been told and I believe

C                  D
  That life is meant for livin'

G                 D*
  And even when my chips are low

C                           D
  There's still some left for givin'

C                 Bm
  I've been many places

      C      C*     D
Maybe not as far as you

G                 D*
  So I think I'll stay awhile

    C          D            G
And see if some dreams come true
G C D [Riff] G x2 [Bridge]
C                      Bm
  There isn't much that I have learned

Em         D              G        G7
  Through all my foolish years

C                      Bm            Em
  Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles

C                                   D
  First there's laughter, then those tears
[Verse 3]
G                D*
  But I'll keep my head up high

C                   D      [Riff]
  Although I'm kinda tired

G                  D*
  My gal just up and left last week

C             D
  Friday I got fired

C                   Bm
  You know it's almost funny

        C          C*         D
But things can't get worse than now

G                D*
  So I'll keep on tryin' to sing

    C               D        G
But please, just don't ask me how
G C D [Riff] G x3 G C D
