This is an alternative way to play the song that I think sounds pretty good. Its sort of a mixture between a tab version of the song and a chord version. There is no capo for this version but tune the guitar like this: EADGAd Sine the two bottom strings are tuned down play the chords like this: C: 032000 Em: 022000 G: 320000 D: 000200 For the chorus it sounds best if the chords are played like this: Em: 079000 D: 057000 C: 035000 Although you could just play them the same way as in the verses if you prefer. Verse 1:

^CI spent my time ^Emwatchin' the ^Gspaces that have grown between ^Cus. And I cut my mind on ^Emsecond best or the ^Gscars that come with the g^Creeness. And I gave my eyes to the ^Emboredom, still the ^Gseabed wouldn't let me ^Cin, And I tried my best to embrace the ^Emdarkne^Gss in which I ^Cswim.

Verse 2:

^CI'm walkin' back down this ^Emmountain with the ^Gstrength of a turnin' ti^Cde Oh the wind's so soft on my ^Emskin, the ^Gsun so hard upon my s^Cide. Oh lookin' out at this h^Emappiness, I ^Gsearch for between the s^Cheets. Oh feelin' blind and ^Emrealize, a^Gll I was searchin' for was ^Cme. ^EmOoh ^Gall I was searchin' for ^Cwas me. ^D

Chorus: (use the second alternative set of chords)

^EmKeep your head up, ^Dkeep your heart ^Cstrong, no, no, no, no. ^EmKeep your mind set,^Dkeep your hair l^Cong. Oh my my darlin' ^EmKeep your head up, ^Dkeep your heart ^Cstrong, no no no no. ^EmKeep your m^Dind set in your ways, keep your heart ^Cstrong.

Verse 3: (switch back to the first set of chords)

^CI saw a friend of mine the o^Emther day, and he ^Gtold me that my eyes were gl^Ceamin'. Oh I said I had been away, and he ^Emknew, oh he ^Gknew the depths I was ^Cmeanin'. And it felt so good to see his ^Emface, or the ^Gcomfort invested in my ^Csoul. Oh to feel the warmth of a s^Emmile, when he said "^GI'm happy to have^C you home. ^EmOoh I'm ^Ghappy to have you h^Come.&quo^Dt;

Chorus: (use the second alternative set of chords)
