(ver. 1)
The Tallest Man On Earth
[Intro]
| G     | C   D   | G     | C   D   |
 
 
[Verse 1]
              G                                    C
Well there is something 'bout the quiet, uplifting laughter
            D                               G
You've just spent so many years chased by a cloud, oh
     G                              C
It's taken you so far, far past the cliff's edge
             D                                 G
And now your feet just poke around to feel the ground, oh
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C                                    G
You say "Is this a joke?" I float, "Come on now"
                C
You see there's something down below
                          G
Just let me fall to be of use, make me the rainstorm
          C                        D
Or just a piece of hail, you know
 
 
[Chorus]
           C
You said, "All the time it needs to take
    Am7                    D                G
And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear
          C
But is it honest like a fallen log
   Am7                 D                     G
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
 
 
[Interlude]
| G     | G     |
 
 
[Verse 2]
             G                                     C
And there is something 'bout the quiet surprise in darkness
         D                                 G
You just sing about your own death in your closet
    G                                C
You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway
                 D                                  G
You think you've lost so many times though it's not war yet
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          C
You say, "Are these my eyes?"
                G                C
You said, "Come on now, already lost my sense to feel"
                            G
But there is always someone out there who will listen
                 G                     D
And then there's nothing but a dream
 
 
[Chorus]
           C
You said, "All the time it needs to take
    Am7                    D                G
And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear
          C
But is it honest like a fallen log
   Am7                 D                     G                 C  D
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
 
 
[Interlude]
| G     | G     | G     | G     |
| G     | G     |
 
 
[Verse 3]
             G                                C
And there is something 'bout the leaving of a lover
              D                                        G
You think you knew through all the years you've been a woman
         G                                 C
And he's steppin' out and walks out of the garden
              D                                     G
Where all the lilies and all the weed came from his cold hand
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    C                                       G
You say, "Is this my life?" You said, "Come on now"
            G
You see the diamonds when you yell
             C                              G
That let you stay in all the corners I have been here
            G                     D
But now you travel, go to hell
 
 
[Chorus]
           C
You said, "All the time it needs to take
    Am7                    D                G
And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear
          C
But is it honest like a fallen log
   Am7                 D                     G                 C  D
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
 
 
[Outro]
| G     | G     | G     | G     |
| G     | G     | G     | G     |
