E---4--5--7------------
post breakdown (no lyrics)
e--------------------0--- (I haven't determined if the bass note
b---10---9---8---6---0--- is the one in parentheses or the ones
g----9---9---7---5---1--- on the a string. It looks like the ones
d---(7)--6--(5)-(3)--2--- in parentheses on the DVD, but it sounds
a----7-------5---3---2--- better with the bass notes on the a string.
E--------------------0--- Play as you wish)
...you said son....
e---0---0---0--- (it sounds like he messes with these three chords
b---0---0---0--- in that order for the majority of the time. This
g---1---1---1--- could be wrong.)

a---4---2---0---
E---0---0---0---

version 2
Into: E Esus x2 (the very first E is a downstroke)
E Esus4 E
You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword.
Esus4 E
Cause your words will outlive even time."
Esus4
I've counted my blessings.
E
The rest are for you.
Esus4
Please listen close for awhile,
(In this part, you can play these chords, or just the E, the actual guitar in the song
plays the E with a changing bass line.)
E C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
I've heard about heaven for years.
C#m7 F#m7
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
E C#m7 F#m7 Esus4
C#m7 F#m7 F#m7 x2
I'm fine with you here.
E Esus4 E
I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Esus4 E
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Esus4 E
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Esus4
Are you surprised where you are?
E C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
I've heard about heaven for years.
C#m7 F#m7
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
E C#m7 F#m7 Esus4
C#m7 F#m7 F#m7 x2
I'm fine with you here.
E Esus4 E
I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Esus4 E
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
Esus4 E
And I don't feel like crying today.
Esus4
Why can't we talk for awhile?
E C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
I've heard about heaven for years.
C#m7 F#m7
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
E C#m7 F#m7 Esus4
C#m7 F#m7 F#m7 x2
I'm fine with you here.
(Here's where OAR does their thing. I don't know what chords would be, and they'd be
repetitive without the sax part.)
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
You said, "Son, just listen to me."
C#m7 F#m7
But I'm doing fine, James.
Esus4 E
So you can sit back and just breathe.
C#m7 F#m7 Esus4 E
And it's time now to let yourself go.
C#m7 F#m7
Hold us close, spin the dream, the curtain will fall but behind it
(Repeat this last progression until the end)E C#m7 F#m7
E C#m7 F#m7 F#m7
I see that you're here.
(End on E or whatever, just not one of those 7 chords.
