Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
As per most of my tabs, I play this in CGCGCC tuning with power chords,
(and John probably plays it in CGCGCE) but here it is in triad form.
Probably better with barre chords for the syncopated effect.
This is a lesser known track of JBT's, and one you should probably look up on Youtube
if you don't know it. (thanks to the peoples on the JBT forum for the lyrics)

For all that will come, for all that will pass,
Am F C G
Tell me man, what do you think will last?

Am F C G
Spending all our time protecting what we've got,
But when we go, you know, all those things do not,
For all that we've worked, for all that we wear,
When did what we possess become our jails?
Cuz it's all just looking a little hairy from down here,
We all be looking for love but we taking it apart with fear,
For all that we've loved, for all that we've lost,
Tell me man, what do you think's the cost?
CHORUS
C Dm Am F
Because I've been wandering around for so many years, I know you hear me cry,
I'm bogged down by the mud from my own tears, I know you hear me cry,
Well just the state I'm in, it rocks me to my core, I know you hear me cry,
Won't someone please tell me, won't someone please me what's going on,
