As opposed to diagramming the whole song, I'm going
to just show how to play the various sections. The
most difficult part of playing this song is the timing,
not only with singing the words but the ascending chords
in the chorus. There's little point in writing it out
so just listen to the song to get a feel for how it all
comes together.

This is the tricky part of the song. Those (above)are the chords written out, but I find the best way to play it is like this:
E F#m G#m A B C#m A B E|------------------------------7-| B|-9--10--12--14--16--17---14---7-| G|-9--11--13--14--16--18---14---8-| D|-x---x---x---x---x---x---14---9-| A|-7---9--11--12--14--16---12---9-| E|------------------------------7-|From that point it goes back into a Verse-Chorus till the bridge
Verse: and i know your with me its a point of pride and its louder then lighting in this room of mine oh im just like you i never hear the...the bridge involves two descending riffs
D-Riff #1 E|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|---7-7-7----6-----4------2-2-2-2-2---| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------|From here it stays in a long Chorus ending on an E
my friends and my family they are asking of me how long will you ramble how long will you still repeat the snow is still falling and I'm almost home i see a new year
