Moss on a Rolling Stone by Noah Gundersen
awesome song, and i was bummed when i couldn't find a tab, so i had a stab at it.
i'm fairly sure there's room for improvement, but this is the general layout i
think. Let me know what you think.

(Note: there's a lot of palm muting going on in this song, mainly when the C chord
is played in the first 2 verses.
just have a listen to the song to get it, though it sounds fine without it).
Intro:
C *palm mute* C F (x5) C *palm mute* F C *palm mute* F C
C
I believe nowhere is a better place to be
Am
Than not knowing where you're going now
C
I said education is a better state of mind
Am
But I'd trade all my books to find a home
C
If I made bets on a better time
Am
I'd lose my money every single dime
C
I believe moss on a rolling stone
Am
Is better than the rust that's growing on my house
AmGF
'Cause it eats at you sometimes
Chorus:
FC
The more you struggle
G
More you fight it
AmF
More it clings to you at night
C
The more you wonder
G
More you dream
AmF
The more you pray it starts to die
C
And it does
GAmF
Though it kicks you in the side
C
Yes it does
GAmG
Though it takes a little time
C F (x5) C *palm mute* F C *palm mute* F C
C
I believe heaven is a pretty place to stay
Am
But not knowing scares me half to death
C
I believe God is a bigger man than me
Am
But sometimes I think that I can fight him
C
We kicked the devil on a friday night
Am
Just about lost when he came in close and tight
C
Took him with a punch to his gritty chin
Am
Asked him to please not come back here again
AmGF
But he eats at me sometimes
Chorus:
FC
The more you struggle
GAmF
More you fight it, More he clings to you at night
CG
The more you wonder, More you dream
AmF
The more you pray he starts to die
CGAmF
And it does, Though he kicks you in the side
CGAmFG
Yes it does, Though it takes a little time
C F (x5)
C
I believe home is a place that I will get someday
Am
If someone just will hold me
C
I believe hope is a thing that I will find some time
Am
If someone just will show me
C
I believe love is given, going, gone
Am
Come back to kiss me on the forehead
C
I believe moss on a rolling stone
Am
Is better than the rust that's growing on my home
AmGF
'Cause it eats at me sometimes
Chorus:
FCG
The more I struggle, More I fight it
AmFC
More it clings to me at night, The more I wonder
GAmF
More I dream, The more I pray it starts to die
C
And it does
GAmF
Though it kicks you in the side
C
Yes it does
GAmFG
Though it takes a little time
C F (x3)
end on C
