Surrender - The Dropkick Murphys

I did the chords for this song a while back and I've yet to figure out the intro
and fill, so i'll give you guys this.

i tried my best with positioning the chord names over where they are to be played,
but i'm sure everyone will get the point.

the way i pick the lead guitar is: (for Bb majorBb to FF to AbAb)

|-----------------x---x--x--x-----x-
|-x---x--x--x-----x---x--x--x-----x-   basically pick the-
|-x---x--x--x-----x---x--x--x-----x-     -higher half of the chord,
|-x------------x--x------------x--x-   then the lower half once,
|-x------------x--x------------x----   then the entire next chord.
|-----------------x------------x----

     AbAb

Intro:

Bb--F--Ab--Eb

Bb--F--Ab--Eb--Bb


FF
I was at my weakest state
AbAb
And you kept pushing me on
Eb MajorEb
You gave me something to believe in
Bb majorBb
And it keeps me standing strong
FF
These lessons that I've learned
AbAb
These things I'll carry on
Eb MajorEb
And when you're gone I'll honor you
Eb MajorEb
Each day, however long

Bb majorBb
This glimmer of hope was never enough
FF
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
AbAb
I held out for and I received
Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA pain that never left with no reprieve
Bb majorBb
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
Eb MajorEb
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty


FF
Like an apple from the tree
AbAb
you were lock jawed in your ways
Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
FF
Thought you'd stayed off my path
Eb MajorEb
But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins
Eb MajorEb
Is the same that runs through me


Bb majorBb
This glimmer of hope was never enough
FF
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
AbAb
I held out for and I received
Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA pain that never left with no reprieve
Bb majorBb
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
   FF
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty


     Eb MajorEb
I had it all but lost my faith
       FF
And then you lead me to it
FF
Today I'll carry on
Eb MajorEb
I had it all but lost my faith
    FF
And now I've renewed it
   Eb MajorEb
These things I'll carry on


Bb majorBb
This glimmer of hope was never enough
FF
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
AbAb
I held out for and I received
Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA pain that never left with no reprieve
Bb majorBb
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
FF
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty


     Eb MajorEb
I had it all but lost my faith
       FF
And then you lead me to it
FF
Today I'll carry on
Eb MajorEb
I had it all but lost my faith
    FF
And now I've renewed it
   Eb MajorEb
