Alright this amazing, beautiful song was originally released on Nathaniel's debut album
known as The Wheel - Desire and Dissolving Men, but since he no longer performs as such,
and still plays the song live, I'll put it here.
Artist: The Wheel
Song: Solomon
Album: Desire and Dissolving Men

This has a typical Nathaniel strum pattern.
Using the thumb, on the down strokes of the bass notes,
and lightly picking the upstroke with the index and ring finger.

[------3----3----3------3----3----3--]
[-------0----0----0------0----0----0-] This is pretty close for the verse
[---------------------2--------------] but I don't feel the strumming is as
[----2----2----2----3-3----3----3----] important, because the song is like
[--0-0----0----0----0------0----0----] 85% vocals.
Em7 Cadd9
Verse 1: (not a 100% percent on lyrics)
IEm7 want to be the drum (drug?),Cadd9 that slows me down
IEm7 want to care to not, Cadd9break through
IEm7 want to have no sense,Cadd9 or meaning
IEm7 want to start myself, anCadd9ew (on you?)
Chorus: (strumming opens up a little more)
AGint it hard luck Cadd9living, a good life
AGint it hard luck Cadd9living, a good life
AGint it hard luck Cadd9living, a good life
AGint it hard luck Cadd9living, a good life
AEm7 good life Cadd9
Em7 Cadd9
IEm7 want a piece that glimmers,Cadd9 to show them all
IEm7 want to be delivered,Cadd9 from you
IEm7 want to smile but got, Cadd9no reason now
IEm7 want way to bench,Cadd9 the truth
AGint it hard luck, Cadd9living a good life
AGint it hard luck, Cadd9living a good life
AGint it hard luck, Cadd9living a good life
AGint it hard luck, Cadd9living a good life
AEm7 good life Cadd9
Em7 Cadd9
Em7
That's it. Pretty close anyway,
the picking is a little more intricate than this,
but you get the jist anyway.
