Tom: E

Tabbed by: J. Chitty

There are not many parts that have 2 guitars at once in this song, so most of
the parts are "Guitar 1." The parts where both guitars play the same part, I
will say "Guitars 1 & 2." When they're playing different parts, they'll be
lined up to show exact timing.

Also, I'm not messing up when the chords in the chorus don't correspond with
the power chords beneath them. The chords are for what sounds best if you're
playing this song alone. The power chord in the actual tab is what the guitar
actually plays.

One last thing, sometimes the tab may seem too spaced out or spaced out in a
weird way, that's to show when the note being played is played the same time
that the word directly above it is sung.

VERSE 1
Here are the chords if you want to play them. (There is really no guitar
playing when he's singing.)

F#m          A               B      
Early in the morning sunlight

F#m            A             B      
Soaring on the wings of dawn

D                   E         F#m           A
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky

     D            E      *Riff1*
And I won't come down no more

*Riff1*
