Danny Callahan
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band

Tabbed by Sam Kurcab

Ok I saw another version of this song on this site and didn't like it as much as my own,
I decided to post what i think is the correct version. Can be played with a capo on 2nd
and the chords transposed down a whole step for ease of playing, but i think it sounds 
when played in all barre chords. I also play both E and F# at their highest frets
for the E and 9th for the F#.) Anyways great song, enjoy.

Intro: D5, C5, D5, C5, Bb5

I've tabbed out a bit of the electric too but i'm not so sure about the accuracy of it.
think the little riff in the intro is something like:

e--6-8---------------|
B-------4h6----------|
G-------------6------|
D-----------------7--|
A--------------------|
E--------------------|

           E (022100@1)                     F#That (244322@1)the love you feel you carry inside
         BCan (x2444x@1)be passed
         E (022100@1)                        F#But (244322@1)you try and all you do is just talk

        E (022100@1)                      F#See (244322@1)a brother in the gutter you reach
         G#mOut (133111@4)your hand
                  C#m (x13321@4)       F#(at (244322@1)2nd)

Solo: still working on this part i think it starts like:

e--4-4-8------------|
B---------5-------6-|
G------------6h8----|
D-------------------|
A-------------------|
E-------------------|

         G#mSaid (133111@4)"come back!"
