Tab

This was tabbed on a Hohner Echo Tremelo:

3  3    4  4     -5  -5   5    5  4  -5 
I used to think that I  could not go on 

 3   3    4   4  -5   -5  5  5 4  -5 4 -5 
and life was nothing but an awful so-n-g 

 3   3  4  4   -5  -5 -5 5  5   4  -5 5 -5 4 -5 
But now I know the meaning of true  l-o-v-e 

 3   3   4   4 -5  -5  5 5 4   -5 5 -5 4 
I'm leaning on the everlasting  a-r-m-s 


 4 4  4   -3  4 
If I can see it 

-3   4  -5  5 -5 4  -5 
then I can  d---o   it 

4  4  4   -4  -3  3 3 
if I just believe it 

  4      -5  5  -6  5 -5 -5 4 -3 3 
there's nothing to  i-----------t   

5  5  5   -5  4   4 
I believe I  can fly 

5  5   5  -5   4    -5   4   4 
I believe  I  can touch the sky 

3   5   5  5  5   5  5   5    -6  -6 
I think about it every night and day 

  5    5   5     5   5   -5 -5 5 
spread my wings and fly   a-way 

5  5  5   -5  4   4 -3 
I believe I  can  soar  

3  5  5   5  -5    -5     4   -5 4  -5 4 -5 5 -6 
I see me running through that open   d-o-o-r 

-6   -6  5  -5  -5   4 
 I  believe I   can fly  

5  5  5   -5   4   -5 4 
I believe I   can  f-ly 

-5  -5  -5  4  -4   4 -4 -3 
 I  believe I  can   f-l-y 


 3  3  4  4   -5  -5   5   5   4    -5 
See I was on the verge of breaking down 

 3  3  4   4 -5 -5   5   5   4   -5 4 -5 
Sometimes  silence  can seem so  l-o-u-d 

 -3    3   3 4  4  -5  -5 -5  5   5  5   
There are miracles in  life   I   mu-st  

4 -5 5 -5 4 -5 
a-c-h-i-e-v-e 

 3    3   4  4 4  -5   -5    5 5 5  4  -5 5 -5 4 
but first I  know it  starts inside of m-------e
