Chords with lyrics

The Overcomer
by the Peter Furler Band

Most of the song is in
standard tuning, but the verses
have a riff using the low E MajorE
string tuned down to B.
Here it is from the beginning:

e|---------|
BB|---------|
G+G|---------|

A augmentedA|---------|
E MajorE|---222---| 6X

e|---------|

Repeat all three parts twice
while following the first verse.
You repeat it twice again for the
second verse. There are no chords
played in the verses, so I will
leave those areas blank. I will
provide the chords in the verses
that weren't played in the original
song for all of you acoustic
players.

Verse 1:

C#C#
It's getting cold

Verse 2:

C#C#
Why fight it
C#C#
if we're almost there?

to do your will
