Standard Tuning
An difficult song to tab as it was apparently recorded in the key of C and has
since been performed live in the key of B. Each has their advantages, but seeing
as how this is tabbed for acsoutic guitar and it is piano based, the key of C just
works out better on the whole. To play it in B, simply move each Chord down one half step.
Enjoy.

Intro
We've been [Eb6/F]waiting [F6/G]so long,[C]
We've been [Eb6/F]waiting [F6/G]so long,[C]
we've been [Eb6/F]waiting [F6/G]for the sun to [C]rise and shine
[F]Shining [C]still to [Dm]give us the [G]will
Verse 1
Can you [C]hear [Cmaj7]me, the [Am]sound of my [Em]voice?
I am [F]here to [G]tell you I have [Dm]made my [C]choice
I've been [C]liste[Cmaj7]ning to [Am]what's been going [Em]down
There's just [F]too much [G]talk and gossip [Dm]going '[C]round
Chorus 1
You may [Bb]think that I'm a fool, but I [F]know [Em]the [Am]answ[Dm]er
[Bb]Words become a tool, any[F]one [Em]can [Am]use [Dm]them
[Bb]Take the golden rule, as the [F]best [Em]exam[Am]ple[Dm]
[F]Eyes that have [C]seen will [Dm]know what I [G]mean
Verse 2
The [C]time has [Cmaj7]come to [Am]take the bull by the [Em]horns
(Hold that line, baby hold that line
Get up boys and hit 'em one more time)
We've been [F]so down[G]hearted, we've been [Dm]so for[C]lorn
(We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
So hold that line, baby hold that line)
We get [C]wea[Cmaj7]k and we [Am]want to give [Em]in
(Hold that line, baby hold that line
Get up boys and hit 'em one more time)
But we still [F]need each [G]other if we [Dm]want to [C]win
(We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
So hold that line, baby hold that line)
Chorus 2
If you [Bb]don't know what to do about a [F]world[Em] of [Am]trou[Dm]ble
[Bb]You can pull it through if you [F]need [Em]to [Am]and [Dm]if
[Bb]You believe it's true, it will [F]sure[Em]ly [Am]happ[Dm]en
[F]Shining [C]still, to [Dm]give us the w[G]ill

[F]Shining [C]still to [Dm]give us the [G]will
[G]Bright as the [C]day, to [F]show us the [G]way
Verse 3
[C]Som[Cmaj7]ehow, [Am]som[Em]eday,
We need [F]just one [G]victory and we're [Dm]on our [C]way
[C]Prayin' for it all [Cmaj7]day and [Am]fightin' for it all [Em]night
Give us [F]just one [G]victory, it will [Dm]be al[C]right
Chorus 3
[Bb]We may feel about to fall but we [F]go [Em]down [Am]figh[Dm]ting
[Bb]You will hear the call if you [F]on[Em]ly [Am]lis[Dm]ten
[Bb]Underneath it all we are [F]here [Em]tog[Am]eth[Dm]er
