                    WITH AN EAR TO THE GROUND YOU CAN MAKE IT
                             As recorded by Caravan

Words and Music by Pye Hastings
Transcribed by Jeremy Diringer (dwarfmuncher(at)gmail.com)

This isn't a strict note-for-note transcription; that can be found in the Powertab version 
(available at: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/caravan/
with_an_ear_to_the_ground_you_can_make_it_power_tab.htm)
Rather, this is more like a chord sheet that also features riffs and solos.
