God blessed me, I'm a free man
With no place free to go
I'm paralyzed and collared-tight
No pills for what I fear
This is crazy
I wish I was the moon tonight
Chimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired,
I wish I was the moon tonight

I first heard this song when my friend asked if we could learn it to play at a
fundraiser. I couldn't find a tab, so I tried to figure it out by ear. I think what I
have here
is pretty close, but let me know if you think anything is off, or you've found sound
something that sounds better. My e-mail is: Freeze1186@neo.rr.com. Lastly, if you maybe don't
know the G/B chord, it's fingered: (lowest string to highest) x20033.
