Dropkick Murphys Surrender Lyrics

Surrender - The Dropkick Murphys
I did the chords for this song a while back and I've yet to figure out the intro
and fill, so i'll give you guys this.
i tried my best with positioning the chord names over where they are to be played,
but i'm sure everyone will get the point.
the way i pick the lead guitar is: (for Bb to F to Ab)
|-x---x--x--x-----x---x--x--x-----x- basically pick the-
|-x---x--x--x-----x---x--x--x-----x- -higher half of the chord,
|-x------------x--x------------x--x- then the lower half once,
|-x------------x--x------------x---- then the entire next chord.

Intro:
I was at my weakest state
And you kept pushing me on
You gave me something to believe in
And it keeps me standing strong
These lessons that I've learned
These things I'll carry on
And when you're gone I'll honor you
Each day, however long
This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty
Like an apple from the tree
you were lock jawed in your ways
A reminder of myself in those long forgotten days
Thought you'd stayed off my path
But I just couldn't see that the blood that's in your veins
Is the same that runs through me
This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty
I had it all but lost my faith
And then you lead me to it
Today I'll carry on
I had it all but lost my faith
And now I've renewed it
These things I'll carry on
This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like a diamond in the rough
I held out for and I received
A pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table where resentments run free
There can't be any truth where there's no honesty
I had it all but lost my faith
And then you lead me to it
Today I'll carry on
I had it all but lost my faith
And now I've renewed it
These things I'll carry on
