INTRO
        The intro follows a three chord pattern (Em, D, C) which appears in the song. I like to 
play the Intro anytime I see those three chords show up in the verses, but it sounds
fine without it.
The three chords are an A minor shape on the 7th fret (Em), 
an A major shape on the fifth fret (D), and a standard C.
The 0h1 that appears within the C chord can be played anytime C is at the end of a line.
                  Em                             D                               C

VERSE 1
   Em                   D
Trying to remember the very last time 
           C
I felt a simple thing going past 
            Em             
Was it the day in north Georgia
                D               C
When you were trying to take a bath?
                  Am            D 
She sees the Day Lily's post inside
          C                  D 
And the tears spring to her eyes
              Em                     D                     C
You turn the car around and you?re headed back down that track 
VERSE 2
              Em
She's had a heart attack 
           D                          C
But the bottle of Jack sits on the counter like the devil she knows 
        Em                    D
And he beats her up and she fills her cup 
           C                      D
With the embers of a dying fire glow
             Am                        D 
See how she looked in her school year book
                         C           D
Her friends signed the margins all around 
               Em                                   D
But would you stay in touch you know I miss you so much 
    C          D           G
I hope we get out of this town 
CHORUS
      Em             D                     C 
Every day that you get up and force your cards
              Em       D         C
Playing your story in fits and starts
             Em                 D              C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream 
          Am                 C                       Em 
And you bloody your hands, digging for your dream 
VERSE 3  
         Em                            D                            C
I went looking for the answers from someone I heard believes that life gets easier 
          Em                           D                       C
And you learn how to breathe and you learn how to grieve your past
                 Am               D 
You study the masters and their books
          C                  D 
Giving in to the barbs and hooks
           Em                            D                 C 
Till you except it with grace when your true love doesn't last 
CHORUS
      Em             D                     C 
Every day that you get up and force your cards
              Em       D         C
Playing your story in fits and starts
             Em                 D              C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream 
          Am                 C                       Em 
And you bloody your hands? digging for your dream 
D PEAT CHORUS
             Em                 D               C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down 
             Em                 D               C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down 
             Em                 D               C
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
