To change the world,
Start with one step.
However small,
The first step is hardest of all.
Once you get your gate,
You'll be walkin tall.
You said you never did,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
Cause you---
If you close your eyes,
Cause the house is on fire.
And think you couldn't move,
Until the fire dies.
The things you never did,
Oh, cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
You'd be as good as dead,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
If you give, you, you begin to live.
If you give, you begin to live.
You begin, you get the world.
If you give, you begin to give
You get the world, you get the world.
If you give, you begin to live.
You might die trying.
Oh, you might die trying.
Yeah, you might die trying.
The things you never did,
Cause you might die trying;
You'd be as good as dead.
You never did

Variations on the strumming (palm muting, syncopations) make this awesome.

Last time goes back into first part
Outro
I don't believe Dave plays the outro. It sounds like Boyd plucking on the violin.
This song is one of the songs I intend to pay special attention to this summer when
I go to their shows. But if it is Dave playing, I believe his part in the outro goes
like this....

As the song fades the picked part changes....improv at its best. Just jam with the outro.
To change the world,
Start with one step.
However small,
The first step is hardest of all.
Once you get your gate,
You'll be walkin tall.
You said you never did,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
Cause you---
If you close your eyes,
Cause the house is on fire.
And think you couldn't move,
Until the fire dies.
The things you never did,
Oh, cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
You'd be as good as dead,
Cause you might die trying,
Cause you might die trying.
If you give, you, you begin to live.
If you give, you begin to live.
You begin, you get the world.
If you give, you begin to give
You get the world, you get the world.
If you give, you begin to live.
You might die trying.
Oh, you might die trying.
Yeah, you might die trying.
The things you never did,
Cause you might die trying;
You'd be as good as dead.
You never did
