[Intro]
Am   Em   F    C

[Verse 1]
C                   Em
Be the light in the crack
F
Be the one that's been
            C
there on a camel's back
G                      Am
Slow to anger quick to laugh
F       G          C
Be more heart and less attack

[Verse 2]
C                     Em
Be the wheels not the track
F                      C
Be the wanderer that's coming back
G                    Am
Leave the past right where it's at
F       G         C
Be more heart and less attack
Am   Em   F    C
Ooo  ooh  ooh  ooh   (X2)

[Verse 3]
C                     Em
The more you take the less you have
F                         C
Cuz its you in the mirror staring back
G               Am
Quick to let go slow to react
F       G         C
Be more heart and less attack

[Verse 4]
C            Em
Ever growing steadfast
F                      C
And if need be the one thats
in the gap
G            Am
Be the never turning back
F         G         C
Twice the heart any man could have
Am   Em   F    C
Ooo  ooh  ooh  ooh   (X2)

[Verse 5]
C                     Em
Be the wheels not the track
F                      C
Be the wanderer that's coming back
G                    Am
Leave the past right where it's at
F       G         C
Be more heart and less attack
F       G         C
Be more heart and less attack
F       G         C
Be more heart and less attack

[Pre-Bridge]
Am Em F C    X4

[Bridge]
Am         Em        F
I stuck my hat out I caught
     C
the rain drops
Am         Em        F      C
I drank the water I felt my veins block
Am         Em             F      C
I'm nearly sanctified I'm nearly broken
Am         Em          F         C
I'm down the river I'm near the open
Am         Em          F         C
I'm down the river I'm near the open
Am           Em       F         C
I'm down the river to where I'm going

The backbone of the song is Am – Em – F – C (vi – iii – IV – I in C major). In solfa, that is lah – mi – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
