I want to give many thanks to my friend Joe T. for tabbing this song

This song is is in the key of C, but Smith tunes down a step on his guitar, so he fingers a D t play a C.  I will show the actual chord and sound first, but in () is the tuned down chord Smith actually plays.



Intro:

Fm(Gm)  C(D)  Ab(Bb)  Bb add9(C add9)  Am(Bm)  D7(E7)  G(A)



      Fm(Gm)      C(D)

We're passengers aboard the train 

Ab(Bb)        Bb add9(C add9)

Silent little lambs amidst the pain 

Am(Bm)    D7(E7)       G(A)

That's no longer good enough 

    Fm(Gm)            C(D)

And when it's time to speak our faith 

   Ab(Bb)         Bb add9(C add9) 

We use a language no one can explain 

Am(Bm)    D7(E7)       G(A)

That's no longer good enough 

    E7(F#7)          F(G)

And God knows it's a shame 

             D7(E7)

'Cause if we look to pass the blame 

       C(D)                          Gsus4(Asus4)   G(A) 

We are not the worthy bearers of His name 



Chorus: 

        C(D)

For the world to know the truth 

Gm7(Am7)

There can be no greater proof 

        Bb add9(C add9) F(G)

Than to live the life,  live the life 

           C(D)

There's no love that's quite as pure 

Gm7(Am7)

There's no pain we can't endure 

      Bb add9(C add9) F(G)

If we live the life,  live the life 

     Dm(Em)           Bb add9(C add9)

Be a light for all to see 

    Dm(Em)                         C(D)

For every act of love will set you free 





There's something beautiful and bold 

The power of a million human souls 

Come together as one 

And each, in turn, goes out to lead 

Another by His word, His love, His deed 

Now the circle is done 

It all comes back to one 

For it is He and He alone 

Who has lived the only perfect life we've known 



Solo:

If you tuned down to the D formation, move everything up 2 frets
