Comments : I hope that this transcription comes pretty close to the original
recording. The D/A Chord can be also played as a Bm7/A Chord on the piano.
But to make the song easier you can also go on and play a standard A Chord
instead of the D/A Chord. Doesn't sound much different, but is quite a lot
easier to play.

Comments :
If you play this song on a guitar only, then you should better play a standard
G7 instead of the G7/D chord, because it's easier to play and sounds better this
way, even though in the original recording the bass is playing a D at this part.
Additional Chords :
Additional Tabulature :
Even though this is a piano song, you can do a nice fingerpicking on the guitar
on it to make it sound like the original recording. This is what I figured out
to make it sound the best for me :
The Em parts can be played like the following. The piano melody is built into
this picking :
{sot}e |-0-------0-3-0---5-------7-------|-0-------0-3-0---5-------3-------|
Play this two times during the Intro and repeat it through the Fills and the
Outro.
The fingerpicking through the rest of the song could be something like this :
{sot}e |-----------------0---------------|---------------------------------|
Rain on the roof Time on my hands
Continue this type of fingerpicking throughout the rest of the song
Pushing Up Daisies
Vs. 1
Vs. 2
Chours
Vs. 3
Sometimes my heart is as true as a dove,
Sometimes my heart it betrays me,
So I draw my sword for to fight for my love,
But without a whisper she saves me,
Vs. 4
My mother died but somehow she keeps living,
She'll never cease to amaze me,
Now dad turns his back on each day that he's given
Cause he'd rather be pushin up daisies.
Repeat chours untill you get tired of it.
RODEO OR MEXICO
{section: Verse 1}
For a change I headed south across the border
{section: Verse 2}
Oh her long black hair and English bad and broken
{section: Refrain}
Rodeo__o or Mexico, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
( D )
Is just get on and ride
{section: Verse 3}
We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton
{section: Refrain}
Rodeo__o or Mexico, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
( D )
Is just get on and ride
Fill : | D - - - | G - Bm - | A - - - | A - - - | Let me only ride
{section: Solo}
{section: Verse 4}
Well the morning found the answer dawning on me
{section: Refrain}
Rodeo__o or Mexico, they both can keep a cowboy satisfied
( D )
Is just get on and ride
Fill : | D - - - | G - Bm - | A - - - | A - - - | Crawl all up and ride
Comments : Play the D/G Chord at the end of the solo like a standard
D-Chord, but put the thumb of your hand on the third fret of the thick
E-String and play a G in the bass with it.

I can hear that highway calling

          [D]   As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
             This [A]is usually goodbye
                   [D]                                                      [A]

   [D]          They would never recognize me for all that she's done

             Once happi[D]ness was only
             Whenever I was[E] on my own
             So now why do [D]I feel lonely

Comments : I hope that this transcription comes pretty close to the original
recording. The D/A Chord can be also played as a Bm7/A Chord on the piano.
But to make the song easier you can also go on and play a standard A Chord
instead of the D/A Chord. Doesn't sound much different, but is quite a lot
easier to play.

Comments :

If you play this song on a guitar only, then you should better play a standard
G7 instead of the G7/D chord, because it's easier to play and sounds better this
way, even though in the original recording the bass is playing a D at this part.

Additional Tabulature :

Even though this is a piano song, you can do a nice fingerpicking on the guitar
on it to make it sound like the original recording. This is what I figured out
to make it sound the best for me :

The Em parts can be played like the following. The piano melody is built into
this picking :

{sot}e |-0-------0-3-0---5-------7-------|-0-------0-3-0---5-------3-------|
b |-0---0---0-0-0---0---0---0---0---|-0---0---0-0-0---0---0---0---0---|
g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
D |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
A |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E |-0---------------0---------------|-0---------------0---------------|{eot}

 [Em]                                 [Em]

  Play this two times during the Intro and repeat it through the Fills and the
  Outro.

The fingerpicking through the rest of the song could be something like this :

{sot}e |-----------------0---------------|---------------------------------|
b |-0-------0-------0-------0-------|-0-------0-------4-------4-------|
g |-0-------0---------------0-------|-2-------2-------4-------4-------|

                  Rain on the roof             Time on my hands

  Continue this type of fingerpicking throughout the rest of the song

E-String and play a G in the bass with it.

When You Come Back To Me Again

T[C]here's a ship out[Am] on the ocean

A[F]t the mercy of[G] the sea

I[C]t's been tossed about

L[Am]ost and broken

w[F]andering aimlessly[G]

A[Bb]nd god somehow yo[Am]u know that ship is[G] me

'[C]Cause there's a l[Am]ighthouse in a harbor

S[F]hining faithfully[G]

P[C]ouring its light out

A[Am]cross the water

W[F]here this sinking [G]soul can see

T[Bb]hat someone out the[Am]re still believes i[G]n me

O[C]n a prayer

I[Am]n a song

I[F] hear your voice

A[Dm]nd it [G]keeps me hanging on

R[C]aining down

A[Am]gainst the wind

I[F]'m reaching out

'[Dm]Til we reach the circle's edge

W[G]hen you come [C]back to me again

T[C]here's a moment that[Am] we all come to

I[F]n our own time

A[G]nd our own space

W[C]here all that we've done

W[Am]e can undo

I[F]f our heart's in the r[G]ight place

O[C]n a prayer

I[Am]n a song

I[F] hear your voice

A[Dm]nd it [G]keeps me hanging on

R[C]aining down

A[Am]gainst the wind

I[F]'m reaching out

'[Dm]Til we reach the circle's edge

A[G]nd you come b[F]ack to me again

A[C]nd again I see

M[Dm]y yesterday's in[G] front of me

U[F]nfolding like a my[C]stery

Y[F]ou're changing all that is and use[G]d to be

O[D]n a prayer

I[Bm]n a song

I[G] hear your voice

A[Em]nd it [A]keeps me hanging on

R[D]aining down

A[Bm]gainst the wind

I[G]'m reaching out

'[Em]Til we reach the circle's edge

W[A]hen you come [D]back to me again

W[A]hen you come [D]back to me again
