Tuning: Standard
The intro, verse and Chorus all uses some finger picking based around the same 4 chord progression.
Listen to the song to get a feel for the picking and timing, but generally he's hitting the root note
then the top two or three strings. I haven't shown the exact picking because he mixes it up a bit so
just play around with it.

C Am Em F
I've been writing in the book that your mother gave me, last christmas
C Am Em F
I had to take another look over my shoulder, again
C Am
I climb up to the mountaintop
Em F
Climb up to the mountaintop
C Am Em F
And I'll walk across the valleys, for you.
C Am Em F
These lonely days and lonely nights, won't get no easier, with you
C Am Em F
There's a sea of faces under the streetlight, if only they knew
G Am Dm Am
From the bars to the backstreets, to the bars of a cave
Dsus4 E7 F Fm
They're as free as the birds, that'll sing them home to a new day
C Am Em F
Ooooooohhhhhhh oooooooohhhhhhh
C Am
I climb up to the mountaintop
Em F
Climb up to the mountaintop
C Am Em F
And I'll walk across the valleys, for you.
C Am Em F
Oh I climb, I'll climb
C Am Em F
I'll walk, I'll walk, with you
C Am Em F
I've been writing in the book that your mother gave me
