E
When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
          A              B                E
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you

E
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
          A              B               E
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

E
If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
          A              B                  E
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you

E
And if I haver, hey I know I'm gonna be
          A                B           E
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you


Chorus:
E
But I would walk 500 miles
    A            B
And I would walk 500 more
        E                               A
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
             B       
To fall down at your door


E
When I'm working, yes I know I'm gonna be
          A                B                E
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you

E
And when the money, comes in for the work I do
            A             B          E
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

E
When I come home- When I come home -, well I know I'm gonna be
          A              B                  E
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you

E
And if I grow , well I know I'm gonna be
          A                B                E
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you


Chorus:
E
But I would walk 500 miles
    A            B
And I would walk 500 more
        E                               A
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
             B       
To fall down at your door

E
And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream

Original tab sounds great, +1 sounds a bit weird unless you stress the A string on the C chord. I do +1 because E makes my wrist cry. Thanks for a great tab!
