This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

Verse 1

E E E E

Maybe someday I'll be strong, maybe it won't be long

I'll be the one who's tough, you'll be the one who's got it rough

It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong

TAB:

Here's the main riff for The A measures in the middle

the E measures: of the verse (NOT the end) are

pretty much the same:

E|----------------|             E|----------------|
B|----------------|             B|----------------|
G|----------------|             G|--------0-------|
D|--------0-------|             D|----------2-4-2-|
A|----------2-4-2-|             A|0-0-3-4---------|
E|0-0-3-4---------|             E|----------------|

^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

I think the B in the bridge is like this:

E|----------------|----------------|
B|----------------|----------------|
G|--------2-------|----------------|
D|----1-4---4-6-4-|----------------|
A|2-2-------------|2-2-0-0---------|
E|----------------|--------4-4-2-2-|

^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .

I'm not at all sure about the A measures

in the bridge, but I think they might be

something like this:

E|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----------------|
D|2-2-4-2-5-2-4-2-|
A|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
E|----------------|
