Nothing Short Of Thankful

Tabbed by Tyler B. Christopher

After seeing the only tabs of the song and realizing that 
they didn't match up at all, I decided to create one myself. 
I used the YouTube video:(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhqaCcHNtUs) 
as a reference. It mainly shows Scott playing the 'jo, but 
his part is the same as Seth's (go figure!). I have also painstakingly 
placed the chords over the lyrics at the exact spot that they are played. 
Hope you enjoy!

Stand Tuning: EADGBe
Capo: 2nd fret

Harmonica Intro: 

Mute those strings and start chucking!!!

1, 2, 3, 4! C - G - Em - F - Fm (x4)

Verse 1:
C          B
  Hey man (yes) 
F                    Fm            C
  Do you think we’ll ever get back home? 
        B
Well I (guess) 
F               Fm             C
  We choose our battles one by one. 
          B
How I need (rest) 
F               Fm            C
One more day of travel on the road. 
              B
How we’ve been (blessed) 
F                  Fm
Some times I don’t feel that way.


Chorus:
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind, 
F               Fm
  I’m walkin’ a different highway. 
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F                 Fm
  I’m travelin’ a different line. 
    C               G         Em
Oh, nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F                      Fm
  You’ll find what you need if you want it. 
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F           Fm
  I’ll find mine. 


Instrumental Break: C - B - F - Fm (x2)
The way Seth does this part is by just strumming the chords
but putting a hard emphasis on each note of the chord. You
should be able to hear it behind the banjo.

Verse 2:
C          B
  Brother (yes) 
F            Fm
  I know I’m up and down. 
      C          B
Please, try to (accept) 
 F                Fm                C
Apologies for the sadness that I’ve found. 
             B
The years we’ve (spent) 
F                Fm               C
Nothing short of grateful for our trip. 
             B
And those we’ve (met) 
F                Fm
Nothing short of thankful. 


Chorus:
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind, 
F                 Fm
  I’m travelin’ a different highway. 
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F               Fm
  I’m walkin’ a different line. 
    C               G         Em
Oh, nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F                      Fm
  You’ll find what you need if you want it. 
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F           Fm
  I’ll find mine.

A                     F#             G
  I’m not listening tomorrow may not come

Lazy men find an easy way; Easy work for easy pay

I’m not listening there ain’t no such a thing as that

To a thing? (no no no)

Break down the walls being built around us.

Make it for our sons and our daughters.


Chorus:
C               G         Em

F               Fm
  I’m walkin’ a different highway. 
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F                 Fm
  I’m travelin’ a different line. 
    C               G         Em
Oh, nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F                      Fm
  You’ll find what you need if you want it. 
C               G         Em
Nothing’s gonna change my mind. 
F           Fm
  I’ll find mine.
