NOTE: 	[PALM MUTING, p.m.]
	To reproduce the sloppy sound of the song keep hitting the lower
	strings palm muted (E A [D]).For the higher strings the muting 
	can be loosened to get a slightly ringing sound.
        Listen to the song to figure out the rhythm.

Dry up your tear and feel no fear

You're here with me like I'm there with you

I'm writing a note beneath a tree

The smell of the rain on the greenery
                 G                      C       
Our fathers have painfully lost their way
                 G               Em
That's why, my love, I'm here today
               F                     G
Hear me when I say there will come a day

When kings will know and love can grow
