capo iv yes , i know the lyrics aren’t quite right . but you’ll get the idea .

Interlude E | - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - | B | - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - | G | - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - | D | - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - | A | - 3 - 2 - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - | E | - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - 2 - 0 - 0 - - - - | x3 C - F - G Verse 2 ( use chords from first Verse ) . once i was a carpenter , man my hands were calloused i could swing a metal mallet sure and straight but i took to the highway , a poet young and hungry and i left the timbers where they lay F Fm forever i will move like the world that turns beneath me C Am G and when i lose my direction i’ll look up to the sky F and when the black cloak drags upon the ground Fm C i’ll be ready to surrender , and remember Am G well we’re all in this together F Fm if i live the life i’m given , i wont be scared to die verses 3+4 . ( same as first two . ) and i don’t come from detroit , but her diesel motors pull me and i followed till i finally lost my way and now i spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose and if i ever pass back through here town i’ll stay Chorus 2 ( same as first ) . forever i will move like the world that turns beneath me and when i lose my direction i’ll look up to the sky and when the black cloak drags upon the ground i’ll be ready to surrender , and remember well we’re all in this together if i live the life i’m given , i won’t be scared to die ( Interlude again then that cool little riff ) . and my life is but a coin , pulled from an empty pocket dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind and hope and fear go with it , and moon and the sun go spinning like the numbers and fruits before my eyes Bridge C F G C sometimes i hit , sometimes it robs me blind sometimes i hit , sometimes it robs me blind Chorus 3 ( same as first two ) . forever i will move like the world that turns beneath me and when i lose my direction i’ll look up to the sky and when the black cloak drags upon the ground i’ll be ready to surrender , and remember well we’re all in this together if i live the life i’m given , i won’t be scared to die
