Here's my tab of Chip Away Boy...pretty simple and overall brilliant tune. Corrections are welcome if you spot something that you think is wrong:

Chip Away Boy

Bm Am G
I used to have some fun

Em Am
Me and everyone

C
Now I'm just employed

Chorus:

G G-F#-Em* C Dh^E* G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em C Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

Bm
I remember humid nights

Am
I remember how the full moon tugs

G
How it used to make us fight

Em
And the language of the bugs

Am C
And even our doomsday

Chorus:

G G-F#-Em C Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em C Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em
And I'll chip away

C Am C
Til I make the other side

G G-F#-Em C Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em C Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy


Bm
I think I'm falling in love

Am
And now she's falling off her stool

G
It's not me she's thinking of

Em
But I'm her little fool

Am C
And she's my Helen of Troy


Chorus:

G G-F#-Em C-Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em C-Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

Bm Am
You put on your camisole

G Em
And I'll jump in the rabbit hole

Am C
And head for the sluice-way

Chorus:

G G-F#-Em C-Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em C-Dh^E G
I'm a chip-away-boy

G G-F#-Em
And I'll chip away

C Am C G
Til I make the other side

Damn I figured that one out myself a week ago, but you were first, so congrats, I don't see any mistake.
