Moss On A Rolling Stone Tab

Moss on a Rolling Stone by Noah Gundersen

awesome song, and i was bummed when i couldn't find a tab, so i had a stab at it. 
i'm fairly sure there's room for improvement, but this is the general layout i 
think. Let me know what you think.


CAPO 1


chords:

                    (in chorus)

G|--0---2----2----0------2------------|
D|--2---3----2----0------3------------|

(Note: there's a lot of palm muting going on in this song, mainly when the C chord 
is played in the first 2 verses.
just have a listen to the song to get it, though it sounds fine without it).


Intro: 
      *palm mute*       (x5)   *palm mute*       *palm mute*      


 
I believe nowhere is a better place to be
                                     
Than not knowing where you're going now

I said education is a better state of mind
                                      
But I'd trade all my books to find a home
 
If I made bets on a better time
                                
I'd lose my money every single dime
 
I believe moss on a rolling stone
                                              
Is better than the rust that's growing on my house

                        
'Cause it eats at you sometimes


Chorus:
              
The more you struggle
           
More you fight it
                           
More it clings to you at night
                
The more you wonder
          
More you dream
                               
The more you pray it starts to die
        
And it does
                             
 Though it kicks you in the side
             
Yes it does
                                  
 Though it takes a little time


    (x5)   *palm mute*       *palm mute*     

   
I believe heaven is a pretty place to stay
                                   
But not knowing scares me half to death
   
I believe God is a bigger man than me
                                      
But sometimes I think that I can fight him
   
We kicked the devil on a friday night
                                           
Just about lost when he came in close and tight
    
Took him with a punch to his gritty chin
                                        
Asked him to please not come back here again

                      
But he eats at me sometimes

Chorus:
              
The more you struggle
                                             
More you fight it, More he clings to you at night
                             
The more you wonder, More you dream
                                 
The more you pray he starts to die
                                         
And it does,  Though he kicks you in the side
                                        
Yes it does,  Though it takes a little time

  
     (x5)

  
I believe home is a place that I will get someday
                     
If someone just will hold me
  
I believe hope is a thing that I will find some time
                      
If someone just will show me
 
I believe love is given, going, gone
                             
Come back to kiss me on the forehead
 
I believe moss on a rolling stone
                                             
Is better than the rust that's growing on my home

                        
'Cause it eats at me sometimes

Chorus:
                          
The more I struggle, More I fight it
                                       
More it clings to me at night, The more I wonder
                                           
More I dream, The more I pray it starts to die
        
And it does
                             
 Though it kicks you in the side
        
Yes it does
                               
 Though it takes a little time 

 
     (x3)
