I'm Alive - Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews

Tabbed by: Jason Wilkerson

Email:

Tuning: Down a half step, capo 2nd fret on strings 1-5, leaving 6 open to E-flat

This may not be exact, but it sounds pretty close.

** Note: on the 6th string, the fret specified is from the base of the neck.

All other fret specifications are in relation to the capo. Hope

that makes sense.

Enjoy!

Repeat over and over throughout the verses.

So damn easy to say that life's so hard

Every-body's got their share of battle scars

As for me I'd like to thank my lucky stars that

I'm a-live and well

It'd be easy to add up all the pain

And all the dreams you've sat and watch go up in flames

Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain

But not me... I'm alive

And to-day you know that's good enough for me

Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

And I'm alive and well

I'm a-live and well

Instrumental:

Stars are dancin' on the water here to-night

It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight

This motor's caught its wind and brought me back to life

Now I'm a-live and well

And to-day you know that's good enough for me

Breathing in and out's a blessing can't you see

Today's the first day of the rest of my life

And I'm alive and well

I'm a-live and well

Here's the little solo lick being played over the above riff at the end.
