=================================================
Intro: (v = downstroke, ^ = upstroke, . = pick separate strings)
GGG G G G D A D ADADA Em G G
v^v v v v v v v vvvvv v.... v........ v........
D A
Back in seventyfive when the kid was on the line
Em G
and he felt no pain 'cause there was none
D A
He would bend in the wind, take in anything
Em G
like sniffin' roses, and it was all right
Em A
until he fell and cut his hand
G Bm
He just could not understand
Em D/F# G E
He ran away, blame pretence for defence
A
or plain innocence
Said that's all right,
G D A Em
the harder it fights, I'm one step closer to home
G D A Em
The deeper it bites , I'm one step closer to home
G D
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
G D
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
G D G D A D
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
ADADA Em G (As in the Intro.)
D A
Oh yeah, he ran, hitched rides, travelled light
Em G
left his bags behind, said he lost them
D A
He said that's O.K. I got money and a smile
Em G
from place to place, and they don't mind
Em A
I've had the heads of businessmen
A Bm
and I just gave them right back again
Em D/F# G Em
I've got no need for device, disguise
A
or plain compromise
Said that's all right,
G D A Em
the tougher it gets, I'm one step closer to home
G D A Em
the more that I sweat, I'm one step closer to home
G D
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
G D
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
G D G D A D
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
Bm D
There ain't no need for this, at all, at all
surely you can help me out, say
Em F#m
I know a lot of people, just like you
G Bm
plenty to live for and nothing to lose, so
D A
tear it all down, smash it all up
D A
break it all down, and then just stop
D A D A
build it up
D A
build it up
D A
build it up
D A
and the tougher it gets and the more that I sweat
D G
and the harder it fights and the deeper it bites
D A Em
I'm one step closer to home
G
the harder it fights
D A
I'm one step closer to home
G D
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
G D
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
G D G D A D
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ALARM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
