This song comes from both recordings (live and solo) of Troubadour from the DVD "Justin Live in San Juan Capistrano". In order to play this song correctly, the tabs must be exactly as diagrammed at the bottom of this page. If not, you'll have a very hard time transitioning. Overall, this song is easy; you'll just need to focus on the timing. I'm sure this is 100% correct, but if you have any questions, revisions, or comments, feel free to e-mail me at Jkmuff@aol.com. Enjoy! Also, this tab is NotePad friendly. Intro: D /// G // Gadd9 // G // Gadd9 // G /// Bm // Bmadd11 // Bm // Bmadd11// Bm // G // Gadd9 // G // Gadd9 // // x2 Verse 1:

^GI was ^Donly a little boy when I ^Gheard the ^Ccall, like a ^Dvoice in the wilderness ^Ccalls to us ^Gall.

So I ^Dtook to the gypsy life in the ^Gcity of ^Clove, D C G/Gadd9/G/Gadd9/G/ and I walked with the Troubadours, and flew with the doves...

...in the^C city of ^Dlove. (cont. from above) D / Dsus2 / D / Dsus2 / G / Gadd9 / G / Gadd9 / G / Bm / Bmadd11 / Bm /Bmadd11 / Bm / G / Gadd9 / G / Gadd9 / G /

Verse 2:

^GIn the ^Dgarden of paradise I ^Gheard a voice ^Csing, I could ^Dstill feel the thrill of it; the ^Cchills it would ^Gbring.

Far ^Daway in the western sky ^Gover the ^Csea, D C G / / G / Gadd9 / G / there's a land that I dream about; peaceful and free...

C D / Dsus2 / D / Dsus2 / ...waiting for me. Chorus: (The correct tabs for the walkdown are shown below, but it sounds just as good just to down the low E string from the 12th fret and play on beat with the music.) [Low] E --12-11-10-7-6-5-3-0--

^CHold my ^Ghand, ^Clet me ^Gtake you there, ^Clet's go ^Gwalking in the ^Dmorning.

^CAs time goes ^Gby, ^Clove will ^Gwash us clean, ^Clet love ^Gbring to us our ^Dfreedom.

And we will ^Gsing of the ^Dheroes, that ^Afly on the ^Dbreeze. ^GLove with the ^Dlovers of the world.

A A7 D (Inro x1) Oh... Oh... Oh....... We'll be free...... Verse 3:

^GIn the ^Ddark of the mystic night ^Gmusic is ^Cborn, in the ^Dhands of the Troubadour, the ^Cpiper of ^Gdawn.

And it's ^Dheard on a foreign shore ^Gover the ^Csea, D C G / Gadd9 /G / Gadd9 / G / in a land that we dream about; peaceful and free...

C D / Dsus2 / D / Dsus2 / ...waiting for me. Chorus: (Walkdown) [Low] E --12-11-10-7-6-5-3-0--
