Defying Gravity (Executioner's Song)--Waylon Jennings
written by Jesse Winchester
from the album "Hangin' Tough"
corrections welcome.
tabbed 5/1/05
NOTE: Where you see *, just play F# note (second fret of low E string).   If
you want, you can play a D/F# at that point instead of just the note.


INTRO: D G D

D               *    G
I live on a big blue ball
            G/F#           D
I never did dream I would fall
                   *    G
But even the day that I do
                  G/F#           D
I'll jump off and smile back at you


BREAK

D                        F#  G
We don't even know where we are
                       G/F#       D
They say that we're circling the stars
                             *     G
But I'll take their word, I don't know
             G/F#          D
I'm dizzy so maybe that's so


BREAK

D                *   G
I'm riding a big blue ball
              G/F#           D
And never did dream I would fall
                        *    G
But even the highest must lay low
                    G/F#       D
When I do fall I'll be glad to go
