This is my first ever tab, feel free to comment.
I watched a youtube clip of Paolo playing this live at Eden Sessions and it sounded spot on.
No capo, open D tuning for a full rich sound.
He even comments at the beginning of the clip about the tuning, which makes this song incredibly easy
to play and sound great. There may be a string or 2 that's not quite right, but for the most part it
sounds just like how he plays it.
I don't know the name of the chords in this tuning so I'll just tab them, give each a basic name,
then show you where each chord should be played in relation to the lyrics.
Listen to the song for strumming pattern....good luck!

(INTRO)
D F# G (x2)
(VERSE 1)
Was it Dlove or recognition that has
F#Healed this man's condition
I'm Ghoping and I'm wishing that
This Abird won't fly away
We can Dsee life hand in hand,
The F#green, the blue, the rough, the sand
And Ain our time and in our land
We'll Gsavor everyday
(CHORUS)
And Eoh, how our glory may Dfade F#away,
At Gleast we've learned
Some things along the Away
(VERSE 2)
You Dtook me from my bubble
Knowing F#my defense was weak
And you Gsat there and you listened
Any Atime I chose to speak
You Dgathered from my pleas to
You that F#I am but a clown
And I Gfear only a hero
can dAefeat these demons now
(CHORUS)
And Eoh, how our glory may Dfade F#babe,
Well at Gleast we've learned some
ATricks of trade
D F# G (x2)
And as Etime shall inevitably move Don,
F#Mm well, at Gleast we'll have four strong
Legs to Astand on
To keep us aDlive...
