LYRICS......
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead, barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Well, don't let them win
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win
Don't let them win, yeah

HOPE YOU LIKE THIS!!!!
I did this without any other reference..
because I wasn't satisfied with what I found for reference
when I first went about learning this.
I felt inspired to learn this song when my nephew Darius passed away..
I always thought this song was perfect for encouraging people who need hope.
I wanted to find comfort in learning it..
but sorry to all those who have posted so far..
it just hasn't been close enough for me...
or just lacked enough feeling.
It's a gorgeous song.
I did minor embellishments in the chorus..
a slight bit.. I just colored it a bit more..
and I definitely covered a lot more than I found
when I tabbed this out.
Just my interpretation.. I hope you find it useful..
Also... I play a lot of 12 string dropped a step in D.
I will try to make most my tabs with both..
but I want to build a network of other 12 stringers out there..
especially that appreciate the extra stuff the D tuning offers.
Any comments whatsoever.. don't hesitate.. .
I will never take offense to comments or suggestions..
I do this to try to help others and myself play better and have more fun.
I'm not saying I'm 100% right.. I think I figured that part out,
then I had some more fun with it using a few embellishments.
but I like this better than anything else I've seen.
And if you haven't figured it out yet..
No tab.. absolutely no tab.. is 100% right.
I'm sure any artist would appreciate any new interpretation rather
than being stolen from or carbon copied anyway..
But it's actually pretty dang close.
