Tabbed by Marcus Swan.
I've seen a few tabs of this great song around but they're all a bit off.
The song is played without a capo which makes it a bit more difficult than at first
but don't let that stop you playing it! There's a great live video of Mic playing this song
Youtube, Which I've taken the chords from that's worth checking out;
Chords
I've just put in the main chords as some of the shapes aren't whole chords or there are
strings being played

STRUM
The strum is fairly easy; for the chorus hit the base note of the chord then strum the
chord Up/Down/Up. Play it a little harder for the Chorus. For the Bridge don't pick the
note and strum quite softly. listen to the song for the exact timing.
[intro/verse 1]
A D C# Bsus7 x2
A D
For the sun, for the light
C# Bsus7
For the ride and for the masters
A D
Oh we come to be kind
C# Bsus7
To be warm here and after
A D
We've been out, but we're back
C# Bsus7
Because we're graced in these matters
A D C# Bsus7
And we'll rise.
[Verse 2]
A D
And we did a little love, but we walked,
C# Bsus7
We make a sound for the mesto
A D
Make a little call to the right
C# Bsus7
To the ball and to the mast-top
And we...
[Bridge]
B7/F#
...We fool around now and again, we're looking good
Dsus2/G
But just as friends
[Chorus]
A D C# Bsus7
And this is our heyday baby
A D C# Bsus7
And we're not gonna be afraid to shout
A D C# Bsus7
'Cause we can make our heyday last forever
A D C#
And ain't that what it's all about, oh living,
Bsus7 A D C# Bsus7
in our own terrible way
A D C# Bsus7
[Verse 2]
A D
And we lack a little love, but a sign
C# Bsus7
A sign to get a little messed up
A D
Picking up the rules, for the chimes
C# Bsus7
Making up minds and making it last us
A D
'Cause we live alone, and now we're grown
C# Bsus7
And we know what we're after
A D C# Bsus7
And we'll rise

'Cause we can make our heyday last forever
A D C# Bsus7
And ain't that what it's all about,
[Bridge]
B7/F#
We fool around now and again, we're looking good
Dsus2/G
Just as friends...
[Outro]
A D
So we have ourselves a break, and when we're done
C# Bsus7
And we come to our senses,
A D C# Bsus7
And we rise...

Oh then we'll rise
A D C# Bsus7
'Cause this is our heyday baby,
