tab

This is a (another) great song from The Distance to Here. Although this tab may look a little scary for some beginners, this song is not so difficult to play. Anyway, you'd better play along with the cd to get the correct timing. If you find any mistakes (specially in the chorus part), please tell me.

Have fun,

I'm gatherin' up my friends today
and those who recognize the face
as the vision that changed my mind
from hate to faith
was as simple as grapes to wine and sweet as
I'm gatherin' up my friends today
all these hookers and soldiers and swine and would-be saints
all alone in their rooms that sparkle in their eye
play a song that they'll come outside to see if

• Verse 2 the day that I was so sweetly sung by the wind and the thunder moved by "someone" the feelin' of being lived was so strong the giver became the gift, all one the day that I was so sweetly sung the wind seemed to whisper softly, "oh son, don't wait for the seas to part or messiahs to come don't sit around and waste this chance, to see it!"
  
  
• Chorus

love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in

• Chorus

love will overcome
if this love will make us men
love will draw us in
to take our fear away, wipe our tears away

(again without the slides and that Bb-C)

love!
and all my friends are here
in the city I sing my song
in the face of the hooker, the soldier, the swine
I found it, I found it, I found love!!!!!

love will, love will, love will,
overcome
over come
