Standard Tuning, but I play it using a capo on the second fret so the B, F#, and 
 Eare open chords.
BAin't much changed around F#here since the beEginning of Btime
People born, people live, people kill, people dieing
In a vague memory of the time I was born
Flash of light thunder rolled now I'm here now I'm gone
But do Byou, do F#you, do you Eknow where your Bgoin'
G#mNo effort, Bno gain
G#mNo effort, Bstay the same
C#No don't you ever try to Blive a lie
Bittersweet memories of the road to my regret
Tryin' to change the whole world ain't nobody did it yet
Yeah this life can be cruel yeah this life ain't always fair
Yet we hope to ascend to the place we send our prayers
But do you, do you, do you know where your goin'
