Hi friends. This is the first time of tabbing a song by myself. It's a  
great song and thanks to Robbie Williams for that. I finally figured out the 
chords of the song through watching the video of the song (although they 
show only a few chords which is played by the rhythm guitarist) and by my 
selfeffort in hunting the chords. So here it is friends......enjoy!!!! Any 
comment, correction or just anything, pls don't hesitate to contact me.

                         Better Man


Intro: G    Cm/Eb   (2 times)   {piano + guitar}
The guitarist plays the plucking.
             G	                               Cm/Eb

Verse I goes like this.....
                G
Send someone to love me
          Em
I need to rest in arms
        C
Keep me safe from harm
           D
In pouring rain........

............



In this way, the rest of the Verse I completes and Verse II also goes in the 
same manner. But at the end of each Verses, both ends with a Dsus4 and a D 
as given

..........
          D    Dsus4   D
Before my time


The Chorus of the song begins with an Em and the rest are D, G, Em, C, D and 
finally ends with a Dsus4 and a D again. The last part of the Chorus ends 
with a N/C (NO Chord), i.e., no chord is played by the guitarist in this 
part. The Chorus follows like this......

Chorus
      Em
As my soul
          D
Heals the shame

..............

....
      D  Dsus4   D           N/C
All I can....................to be a better man


In the case of the last Verse, i.e., Verse III, the chords are sightly 
different than the previous verses. Since the chords are not same as the as 
the previous ones, I am writing the lyric of the Verse III with the chords 
on it.

Verse III

Gm
Once you found that lover you're home abound
        F
Love is all around
       	Gm
Love is all around
Gm                           F
I know some here fallen on a stony ground
            D              Dsus4   D
But love is all around

In this way the song completes. The Intro, Chorus and the Verse I also 
repeats in the song. I don't think I have to mention that cuz I don't think 
it is necessary.

So this is it friends.....Some people say that if you have done something 
new in your life then you should dedicate it to the ones you really love and 
miss cuz that will force you to go forward in your life. So therefore I 
dedicate this small masterpiece of mine to my family, my relatives and to 
all my friends of Campion Academy, Kumaripati, of batch 2058 B.S.(2001 A.D.) 
who I know.
