Verse 1
G      D            A
Ever since you went away
G              D           A
The sun hasn't been out to shine
G                D                       A
Clouds have been droppin' their blues on me
G         D         A
Rainy day blues are mine



CHORUS 
            E        G       D 
And I don't care how far you roam
        A       G        D
Just as long as you come home
         A          E    (E  F  F#)  G              D
And with words like iron    ......    forged by the fire
        A         G      D
and the howl of a lonely man.......let me tell you..

Verse 2
        A            G     D               A   
That it's rained every day    since you went away
G          D        A 
Clouds are cryin' .. and I'm surviving 
               G            D       A 
Thinkin' 'bout you down in ol' Mexico
               G            D       A
Thinkin' 'bout you down in ol' Mexico



Lead Solo (same as verse)


G               D                    A
I know that the rain doesn't last forever
G            D           A
Seasons they keep movin' on
G                   D                     A
And absence doesn't make every heart grow fonder
G                     D                     A
And the sun shines so bright in the Mexican Sky


CHORUS

Repeat verse 2

you should really think twice about your use of "Correctly" when there already exists a usable and "Correct" tab of the song you attempted -quacko1 \| 4/19/2004
I'll consider that next time. -cbyrd@cowtown.n \| 4/20/2004
can't we all just get along... -btexan03 \| 4/26/2004
how do you the (E F F#) part... is there some special way you do it? -joelray35 \| 9/9/2004
Basically...you walk up from E to G. In holding the Open E chord you will strike the low E string open, then hit the first fret (F) with first finger, then 2nd fret (F#) with 2nd finger then 3rd fret (G) with 3rd finger...and there you are ready to play the G chord. You are hitting only the E string and playing each note only once..... -cbyrd@cowtown.n \| 9/9/2004
Damn good. Ive been playing it G-Bm-A the whole way through with the same little licks after the A, but this really works well. I dont think its exactly how they play it, but its damn good. -Murph316 \| 11/26/2004

Alright so i gotta say something real quick. the chords are not completely correct. the Verses, its G, Bm, A. It happens quite often that D and Bm can sound very similar but after watching cross canadian ragweed play it and sitting down for a min its really a Bm. fust fyi -mwclapp \| 10/12/2010
