Note - This tab is a mixture of accoustic, electric and banjo guitars,
       with piano aswell. The riff can be figured out by listening
       to the song.
     - Some chords are better bar-chored at times depending on how
       you're playing the song.
     - The roman numerals above/under a chord represent when a certain
       lick should be played.
     - Some licks are actually piano licks.
     - Minor licks have been omitted to encourage improvisation.

Verse
Asus2
 I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
                                     E       Bsus2
Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man
Asus2
  He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels
 
Never knowin' how the real thing feels
  E                                Bsus2        Bsus
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
       Abm          Asus2        Bsus2       Bsus
And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
Abm             Asus2            Bsus
  Today is the first day of the rest of my life
 
 
Chorus
           F#m                   E
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
