From Live at Longview, there's a second guitar with him and a bass makes it sound amazing.
Nice crisp 4/4, apparently he wrote this for his daughter, feel free to correct me.

[Verse]
CIf I knew which way to go, I would hold you in my aGrms again, 
I'd find the winding rFoad again, that leads back to Cyou.
And those ruby mountain storms, they can't keep me from you aGnymore, 
high centered on the desert floFor, so far from Cyou.
[Chorus]
I see you in my dAmreams, I see you in the Emrain, those smoky gray Feyes, I'm so aDm7fraid 
I'll never sEmee you aGgain.
I will hold you in my aCrms, if it takes until the Gend of time, Emand I pray that you still wAmait for me,
