SONG NAME - Band Name Tabbed by: Ed Tuning: Standard This is my version that I play on solo acoustic guitar. It's a lot shorter than the actual song; most of the instrumental fills get kind of repetitive with just an acoustic where, in the studio version, the bass or drums do something interesting. You can play them if you want, most (not all, there are one or two nearer the end that I don't play and aren't in this tab) of them are just three chords that you can jazz up. Chords used: EADGBE Am x02210 A2 x02200 A9 x07000 (more precisely, A9(no 3rd)) Asus4 x02230 D xx0232 (you can play the open A if you want) G 320003 A x02220 (optional) Intro: Am A2 Am A2 A9 (The intro progression repeats as is until after "your way home")

^AmListen to the tales and rom^A2anticize, ^Am How we'd ^A2follow the path of the ^A9hero. ^AmBoast about the day when the ^A2rivers overrun. ^Am How we ^A2rise to the height of our ^A9halo. ^AmListen to the tales as we ^A2all rationalize ^Am Our way ^A2into the arms of the ^A9savior, ^AmFeigning all the trials and the ^A2tribulations; ^Am A2 A9 Am A2 Am A2 A9 (repeat if desired) None of us have actually been there. Not like you.

^AmIgnorant siblings in the ^A2congregation ^Am Gather a^A2round spewing sympathy, ^A9Spare me. ^AmNone of them can even hold a ^A2candle up to you. ^Am Blinded by ^A2choice, these hypocrites ^A9won't see. But, ^Amenough about the collective Judas^A2. Who could deny you were the ^Amone who Illuminated^A2 your little piece of the divin^A9e? And ^Amthis little light of mine, a gift you ^A2passed on to me; ^AmI'm gonna let it shine to guide you ^A2safely on your ^A9way, Your way home ...

Instrumental break: Am A2 Am A2 A9 Am A2 Am Asus4 A2 A9 (the Asus4 and following A2 take up half a measure each, while each other chord is a full measure. You can throw in this variation any other time the main progression comes up in the future.)

Oh, ^Amwhat are they going to do when the ^A2lights go down ^Am Without ^A2you to guide them all to^A9 Zion? ^AmWhat are they going to do when the ^A2rivers over^Amrun Other than ^A2tremble incessantly? ^A9

^AmHigh is the ^A2way, but all ^Ameyes are upon the ^A2ground. ^AmYou were the light and the ^A2way ^Amthey'll only read a^A2bout. ^AmI only ^A2pray, Heaven ^Amknows when to ^A2lift you out. Am A2 A9 (one strum, hold) Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough; You're going home. ^Am ^A2 ^Am ^A2 ^A9

^AmYou're the only one who can ^A2hold your head up ^Amhigh, Shake your ^A2fists at the gates saying:^A9 "I've come home now!" ^AmFetch me the spirit, the ^A2son, and the father. ^AmTell them their pillar of ^A2faith has ascended. (I just go crazy on A9 here but you can throw in Am, A2, Asus4, A5, whatever) ^A9It's time now! ^A9My time now! ^A9Give me my, ^A9give me my w^Amings!&qu^A2ot;^Am ^A2 ^A9

(Here the recording goes into a long solo. Repeat the chords as many times as desired.)

^AmHey ^A2oh, ^Amwhoa ^A2oh oh oh ^A9o-oh, o-oh, o-oh, o-oh ^AmHey ^A2oh, ^Amwhoa ^A2oh oh oh ^A9You are the light and way that they will only read about.

(stuff below here is mostly made up by me, but it sounds all right) Am A2 Am Asus4 D D G G

^AmSet as I ^A2am in my ^Amways and my ^Asus4arrogance, ^DBurden of proof tossed up^Gon the believers. ^AmYou were my ^A2witness, my ^Ameyes, my ^Asus4evidence, D G Am A2 Am A2 A9 (slowing down) Judith Marie, unconditional one.

^AmDaylight ^A2dims leaving ^A9cold fluorescents. ^AmDifficult to^A2 see you ^Asus4in this ^A9light. ^AmPlease forg^A2ive this ^A9bold suggestion, but ^AmShould you see your ^A2Maker's ^Asus4face ton^A9ight, ^AmLook Him in the eye, ^A2look Him in the eye, and ^A9tell Him: ^Am"I never lived a^A2 lie, never took a life,^A9 but surely saved one. ^AmHallel^A2ujah, it's ^Amtime for you to ^Asus4bring ^A2me ^Ahome."

(I end on Amaj but you can end on A9 if you want a different feel.)
