Using a chromatic tuner will maybe help
As the strings will be quite slack, it requires a real
lightness of touch to your strum.
You may also have to re-check the tuning more regularly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please IGNORE ANY CHORD BOXES the website
might automatically suggest, and just use the typed
voicings shown below, this tuning was not in the database,
so any chord boxes will display in standard tuning only:
= 000000 = x55555
= x-x-x-*12-*12-*12 = x77777
= 0-0-0-12-12-12 N.C.= No chords
The 9th chords also have an additional sus4th,
which I haven't named in the tab for neatness of formatting
In the intro and breaks improvise around this kind of riff:

Bb |------*12--|-----------|-(12)(12)--|--0--------|
F |------*12--|-----------|--12--12---|--0--------|

Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm11[/ch
If you can keep your head,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch
While, all a - bout you, ...people are losing theirs,
ch]Cm11[/ch
And blaming you,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
If you can trust yourself ...when every - body doubts you,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
And make allowance for their doubting too
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm11[/ch] [ch]Ab9[/ch
If you can wait, and not get tired of waiting,
ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
And when lied about, stand tall, don't deal in lies,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
And when hated ...don't give in to hating back,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
Don't need to look so good, ...don't need to talk too wise
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm11[/ch] [ch]Ab9[/ch
If you can dream, and not make dreams your master,
ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
If you can thin, and not make intellect your game,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
If you can meet with triumph and dis - aster,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
And treat those two im - posters ...just the same
[Verse 4
ch]Cm11[/ch] [ch]Ab9[/ch
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew...
ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
...To serve you after all of them are gone,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
And so hold on ...when there is nothing in you,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
Nothing but the will that's telling you to ...hold on,
ch]Cm11[/ch
Hold on!
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm11[/ch] [ch]Ab9[/ch
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
Twisted and misconstrued by some smug fool,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
Or watch your life's work ...torn apart and broken down,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
And stoop to build again ...with worn out tools
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm11[/ch] [ch]Ab9[/ch
If you can draw a crowd and keep your virtue,
ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
Or walk with Kings and keep the common touch,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
If neither enemies ...nor loving friends ...can hurt you,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
If everybody counts with you, ...but none too much
Verse 7→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm11[/ch] [ch]Ab9[/ch
If you can fill the journey of a minute...
ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
...With sixty seconds worth of won - der and delight,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
Then the Earth is yours, ...and every - thing that's in it,
ch]Ab9[/ch] [ch]Bb9[/ch] [ch]Cm11[/ch
But more than that ...I know ...you'll be alright,
ch]Cm11[/ch
You'll be al - right
ch]Cm11[/ch
'Cause you got the fight, you got the insight,
ch]Cm11[/ch
(You got the fight, you got the insight!)
ch]Cm11[/ch
You got the fight, you got the insight,
ch]Cm11[/ch
(You got the fight, you got the insight!)
[ch]Cm11[/ch] N.C.
You got the fight, you got the insight
