My first tab – I tried this from the earlier tab and then compared it to the Farm Aid
and other live shows
Please be kind – actual chords with basic lyrics below)

The Chorus: “I know, life is good” etc
F#m7 A (then back to Part 1)

–2– –5– –0– –4– –2– –0–
–2– –5– –0– –4– –2– –0–

F#m7 Am* (then back to Part 1)
yes I’m stoked to be kicking it with you (as done at various concerts)
–2– –5– –0– –4– –2– –0–
–2– –5– –0– –4– –2– –0–
–2– –6– –1– –4– –2– –1–
–2– –5– –2– –4– –2– –2–
–x– –7– –2– –x– –x– –2–
–2– –5– –0– –4– –2– –0–
So it should go something like this:
E G# F#m7 E
I thank the boys who kicked my ass when I was 17
E G# F#m7 E
They shaped my life; they made me like who I’ve become
(repeat with the other lines) and then the Chorus is something like this:
F#m7 Am E G# F#m7 E
And I……so thankful for all of you
F#m7 Am E G# F#m7 E
Yes, I’m so stoked to be here with all of you
(he constantly changes the chorus depending on where he is so just remember to be
for where you are, and then thankful for the people with you)
