Tuning: E A D G B E
This song is an epic, a true masterpiece from the album Having A Beard Is The New Not Having A Beard. This
has the potential to be a great campfire song. Add incomprehensible wailing near the end of the song for
dramatic effect.
With the intro you can play around with the D and Em chords using the 2nd and 3rd frets on the high e. Some
chords require a bit of a staccato strum. Try and find the timings, it's easy enough once you get the rhythm.
The end gets hard to tab, just follow the chords and improvise, maybe scream loudly about beards and you'll
get it.

VERSE 1
E B E AB
I've sat upon the mountains with the wind blowin' in my hair
F#mI've watched the sun rays Esparkle on the Bsea
AI've walked through the Eforests and I've Bbreathed the purest Eair
EAnd I've felt, warm soft Bsand, 'neath my Afeet
AI've laid in the Bwater and I've Esoared above the ground
EI've sat in the silence and I've Alistened to the sound
AThe more that I have Bseen and done one Abmthing remains Dbmclear
F#mThere's just nEothing better than a beard

E"You must return to Earth for your Awork is not yet done!"
