Dadd4 is a C shape in the D position (slid up 2 frets) / Transitioning from C to Am, lift index finger

[Intro] 
Am // Dadd4 // C // Am // x2
 
 
[Verse] - (Finger-picking)
Am                          Dadd4    C      Am
Give me your heart and I'll show you how to feel
Am                           Dadd4        C        Am
Send me your soul and you'll know what it is to be free
   Dadd4      C      Am       Dadd4      C        Am
We all need a deeper purpose. One that's true and bold
    Dadd4 C               Am             E7           Am
The only thing that could hurt us is the curse of the fold

 
(Strumming) 
  Am                      Dadd4 C     Am
I once knew a man who had fire in his eyes
Am                        Dadd4     C       Am
Bloody right hand, he had taken his enemies lives
    Dadd4 C      Am
The past was his torture
    Dadd4  C        Am
The future held his hope
   Dadd4 C         Am              E7           Am
Until he chose his fortune has the curse of the fold

* * *

[Chorus]

   F             G          E7    Am       F        G     E7

Although you may feel like giving up, it's not the only road

    F         G     E7  Am             F            E7         Am

The path less often travelled holds the highest, the highest of hopes
[Instrumental]

Em // Am // Em // Am // Em // Am // Em / Dadd4 /// (Am) 

Am // x8

* * *

[Verse] - (Finger-picking)

Am                        Dadd4 C          Am

Some used to say that I'd never scale this mountain

Am                                 Dadd4    C          Am

Now that I'm close they shut their eyes and draw their curtains

Dadd4     C        Am

Those who don't believe

     Dadd4     C         Am

Will always encourage defeat

        Dadd4      C         Am            E7           Am

They'll scream and shout and scold for the curse of the fold

* * *

[Chorus] - (Strumming)

    F         G           E7    Am        F         G       E7

Although I felt like giving up, it's not the road I chose

  F           G     E7  Am            F            E7         Am

The path less often travelled held the highest, the highest of hopes

          F             E7         Am

Held the highest, the highest of hopes

* * *

[Solo]

Em // Am // Em // Am // Em // Am // Em / Dadd4 /// (Am)
