I'm still working on this intro to figure out the correct
time signature, however I think I got the right notes, I'm just
not sure about their placement.

Lyrics

1st Verse

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward; no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the crowd and they won't bring you down

Chorus

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought.

2nd Verse

Live for yourself -- there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry out for more

Chorus

Solo

3rd Verse

Well, I know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yes it was for me, not you,
I came to write this song

Chorus


Tabulature Explanation (Ripped off from Jimmy Pena, with some
minor changes):
| = bar line
~ = vibrato or held note
x = percussive note with no pitch; muted note
. = staccato; mute the note immediately after striking it
h = hammer
p = pull
s = slide (used when \ or / don't fit)
^ = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret shown in parenthesis ()
r = release bend to indicated string/fret
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
<5> = natural harmonic (lightly touch the string at fret indicated)
[5] = artificial harmonic (use thumb to follow through the pick attack)
o  \
    }-  repeat sign
o  /
