The lyrics might be off, and I tabbed this based on this video: http://vimeo.com/24655104,
so it might vary a tiny bit from the album version.
I put two options for each chord. In the video he uses the chords on the left, I like to
use the open chords on the right (fretting 3 on the high E string is optional).
Also, for the lines "fifteen countries long" and "that was not enough" the chords refer
to the bass note that you should hit.
Capo 1
G 35540x or 32000(3)
A 50540x or x0200(3)
C 53540x or x3200(3)

and they keep trying to tell me that it's best i take some time and slow down
GAC
that fires they burn brightest in the mornings just before they burn out
