"Phoenix" by Dan Fogelberg 1979

Tuning "double dropped D" = DADGBD

This song is done in several sections that I've tried to label in order to get 
in all the parts without writing each one out complete.  I hope it's not too
confusing.

Intro and main riff:
D |---0--0--0---------|
B |---3--3--3---------|
G |---2--2--2---------|
D |---0--0--0---------|
A |---0--3--0---3-0---|
D |0--0--0--0-------3-|
   /   /    /   /       repeat

I have cried too,   I have cried too long

Gsus         G   Gsus            G   D(no 3rd)

A       D     A    Gsus      G  D(no 3rd)
No more sor---row, got to carry on


Found deep water, 'fore I even learned to swim
Found deep water, 'fore I even learned to swim
Never thought I'd see the sun again


Once I was a, once I was a man alone
Once I was a, once I was a man alone
Now I've found a heart to call my home

Like a phoenix, I have risen from the flames
Like a phoenix, I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams

You almost had me, old lady
You almost tied me down good
You played the lady-in-waiting
I waited as long as I could

(repeat tab above w/no lyrics)

Too long the songs have been silent
Too long the strings have been stilled
I never knew what you wanted
And I guess that I never will
