Intro:
C D#

G|-----0--0------0--0------0--0------0--0---|

(The song goes back and forth between that alternating bass note thing and occasionally
just strumming.
Best thing to do is to listen to it to hear when to do either one.)
C G C
Hey, brother stranger you know we shall sail
C G
Even if, even if only to fail
C F Am*
Cause Winnin' and losin' keep journey ammusin'
*The first time, instead of strumming the chord there's something like this:
e|----------------------3-------3\1---1---0---|
B|------------3---3/5-------5---5\3---3---1---|
G|------3/5-----------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--0-----------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
C G C*
Down, down, down your destiny trail
*During this little weird part he's basically dragging the C chord up and down the neck.
Putting the chord names, but just use that to find where the C chord fingering shape is
on the neck
