  use a capo on the fourth fret.

  Intro:|C Fadd9 |Gsus4 G| X2 

      C
 I'd walk a thousand miles for you, honey
                                  Dm G
 I'd walk a thousand miles in the sun
      F                         
 I'd give up both my eyes if I could
  C         Em
 Make you realise
 Dm             G                C
 why can't you see that I'm the one?

 Wish I could buy a limousine
 I'd fill it up and I'd pick you up and
 I'd Drive you to your dreams
 But when you get out on the highway
 Life is seldom as it seems
 when the car breaks down
 You start blaming me
  
 CHORUS:
 
 Am        F               C
 Moonshine bleeds into the dawn
 Am          F                  Dm
 Who am I to say for you what's right
               G
 And what is wrong?
             F           G
 When you're gone, gone, gone
     C           C/b  Am
 The world will carry on
               F           G           
 You're like a song, song, song
        C     C/b  Am
 Who's melody is wrong
          F       G      Em     Am      Dm
 But its so, so hard to say "so long"to you
      C   G    C       
 My long lost love

 INTRO

 Many a man has sold his soul for silver
 Silver ain't worth nothing next to gold
 Some believe that diamonds shine forever
 But they offer little comfort when you're old

 And you can't take it with you when you're gone
 Its the same end for the weak as for the strong
 And if beauty is skin deep
 Then why don't it come more cheap?
 why can't you and I just get along?
