I have borrowed some parts (like the intro chords) from the other journeyman tab. I’m
about that but it just sounded good. I also couldn’t figure out what the third guitar was
doing so I’ll just give Adrian’s and Dave’s parts. They play the same all the same
in the verse and a short solo that Adrian plays after the first chorus in death on the road.
figure that out either. =(

Note: Guitar 1 plays three strings separately and guitar 2 plays a chord, when the first
is played, guitar two also plays the full chord
 
VERSE 1:
 
Before the lyrics both guitars play the chords F and then A twice. It is with the same
as with lyrics. Adrian plays the normal chords and Dave plays barre chords.
 
F				     A
From the red sky of the east, To the sunset in the west
F                                           A
We have cheated death and he has cheated us
F				     A
But that was just a dream, And this is what it means
F					    A
We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore
 
PRE-CHORUS 1:
 
C		    D		     A  Asus4  A
And the fragment remains of our memories
C		    D		     G
And the shadows we made with our hands
C	            D 	             C			G
Deeper grey, come to mourn. All the colours of the dawn
C 		        	     A  Asus4  A
Will this Journeyman’s day be his last?
 
CHORUS (x4):
 
Dm			 F
I know what I want and I say what I want
C			 A#   C
And no one can take it away.
 
VERSE 2:
 
F					A
But the memory still remains. All those past years not so strange
F				       	    A
Our winter times are like a silent shroud
F				   A
And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away
F					A
And winter's not the only dream around
 
PRE-CHORUS 2:
C			D		A  Asus4  A
In your life you may choose desolation
C		    D		      G
And the shadows you build with your hands
C			D		C 	       G
If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night
C		    D                A  Asus4  A
Then this Journeyman's day has begun
 
CHORUS x4
 
INTRO, part 2
 
PRE CHORUS 3:
C			D		A  Asus4  A
In your life you may choose desolation
C		   D		    G
And the shadows we build with our hands
C			D		C              G
If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night
C		   D		     A  Asus4  A
Then this Journeyman's day has begun
 
CHORUS x4

You can choose which G chord to use, but in my opinion the first one sounds better with
song.
 
I actually think that dave plays the A and F chords in the verse as "0" instead of 5 and
on the high e string.

thx...just have to say that some words i wrote have dissapeared. this is how it should look like... I have borrowed some parts (like the intro chords) from the other journeyman tab. I’m SORRY about that but it just sounded good. I also couldn’t figure out what the third guitar was doing so I’ll just give Adrian’s and Dave’s parts. They play the same all the same EXCEPT in the verse and a short solo that Adrian plays after the first chorus in death on the road. COULDNT figure that out either. =( *****on intro, part 2:**** Note: Guitar 1 plays three strings separately and guitar 2 plays a chord, when the first STRING is played, guitar two also plays the full chord. ****on chords:**** You can choose which G chord to use, but in my opinion the first one sounds better with THIS song. I actually think that dave plays the A and F chords in the verse as "0" instead of 5 and 1 on the high e string. *****Also, the chord letters have been moved, you can figer it out for yourself in what position they should be, they are in the right order.*****

its pretty obvious several of the chords are missplaced with the lyrics, but anyone should be able to figure it out.
