Sometimes the 4th fret G string note in the E chord can be hammered on.
Often times he will add the third fret of the B string to the E chord to give a different tone,
but that isn't necessary.

[Intro]
E A B E x2
[Verse 1]
E B*
So I'm down and so I'm out
A B
But so are many others
E B*
So I feel like tryin' to hide
A B
My head 'neath these covers
A Abm
Life is like the seasons
A A* B
After winter comes the spring
E B*
So I'll keep this smile awhile
A B E
And see what tomorrow brings
E A B E
[Verse 2]
E B*
I've been told and I believe
A B
That life is meant for livin'
E B*
And even when my chips are low
A B
There's still some left for givin'
A Abm
I've been many places
A A* B
Maybe not as far as you
E B*
So I think I'll stay awhile
A B E
And see if some dreams come true
E A B [Riff] E x2
[Bridge]
A Abm
There isn't much that I have learned
Dbm B E E7
Through all my foolish years
A Abm Dbm
Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles
A B
First there's laughter, then those tears
[Verse 3]
E B*
But I'll keep my head up high
A B [Riff]
Although I'm kinda tired
E B*
My gal just up and left last week
A B
Friday I got fired
A Abm
You know it's almost funny
A A* B
But things can't get worse than now
E B*
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
A B E
But please, just don't ask me how
E A B [Riff] E x3
