Arranged in 3/4 timing (denoted by the 1 & 2 & 3 & above the tablature).
The timing took the longest to figure out. The whole tab was figured out
by ear so if it's not 100% that's why but I think it sounds pretty close.
Hope it helps!
Open to suggestions and PLEASE RATE!!!

Lyrics and Chords - 00:31
I’ve been gone awhile away from you
And I hope you overstand
That I’ve got to do what I must do
To be a better man
Cuz if I was to just to act a fool
Do nothing with myself
Then all my blessings would be cursed
My world would crumble in
It’s a joy when I sit down and
Think of the good times that we have
And what we do to make it through
When the good turns to bad
Well I hope you’ll find it in your heart
And know these words are true
And please don’t fuss
Because I must go do what I must do
(Chorus) - 01:24
Hey baby don’t you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I’ll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bare my cross
Now I’m free from all these Chains
Verse 2 - 01:49
A time, a space, a different place
How perfect we might be
I would be the wind that blows
You’d be that Willow tree
And I could never bare the thought of you not by my side
So I would be the warmth of day
You’d be the cool of night
And everyday I pray to Jah that one day you will see
And overstand the fact I must fulfill my destiny
I hope you’ll find it in your heart and know these words are true
And please don’t cry
You know that I must do what I must do
(Chorus) - 02:42
Hey baby don’t you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I’ll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bare my cross
Now I’m free from all these Chains
(Bridge)
Well and it’s not easy
Jah knows how I try, I try
So don’t you get irie
Jah knows how I try, I try
Verse 3 - 3:32
God knows...
Life is one big road
With a lot of signs and turns & twists and curves
Even though the road is rocky
My main thing's to rock and keep on rockin'
From city to city
Backyard to yard
And we be seein' the sights, standin' under the lights
And the spot is hot, it's cold and lonely at night
And I'm feelin' and I'm dreamin' and I'm holding you tight
But hold on, every single road I roll on
Comes to an end and I'm back home again
So baby please don't cry, there's no valley low and there's no mountain high
And our love don't die with the passage of time
It just grows more,
And just keep strong
And even though i'm gone, I am never too far
You're the light thru the dark, shining right thru my heart
So my journey must start...
(Chorus) - 04:26
Hey baby don’t you worry
Even though the road is rocky
I’ll be coming home to you again
Cuz if you thought that I was lost
I had to bare my cross
Now I’m free from all these Chains
. . . . repeat till end
