Well, had a chance to skim the replies. Of course, I'm tickled that anyone would want to take a crack at this.

Hey, I'm not at all possessive about this one - take it where-ever you want, including lyric changes, chord changes, melody changes - whatever. It would be cool to hear as much variation as within the Nowhere Man challenge. Above all, have fun!

Thanks for putting the chords down, John. Very cool of you!

They seem to be nearly identical to what I played. I'll put below what my keyboard tells me I'm playing. (Is Fm6 and Ddim the same thing - one website I checked had them the same except it had an extra C-note on the Fm6? Wish I knew more about music. In any case, the Ddim chord I play has the notes F-Ab-D in it.

I think I might also replace one of the Ddim with an Fm. Anyway, I'll type below how I think I played it. The chords John gave will sound pretty much the same.

Intro: C F

C E7
While others claim the lens and lights
F Ddim
As if it’s their God-given right
C E7 F Fm
You toil away in lone obscurity
C E7
In a quest to capture gold
F Ddim
You take the higher, harder road
Fm Ddim C F
That’s why you are a champion to me

Bridge:

E Am
How many times we hear that good guys finish last
E Am
How many times that seems the case
D D7
Yet now how many times the world has seen you act
F Fm G G7
With such humility and grace?


Thanks again, John. Sorry for not being here folks. I didn't think this would get picked and I didn't think it would happen so soon.

EDIT: Sorry also for the spacing on the chords above - don't know why it won't show the space I put between them.....
