"Animal Years" recording: standard tuning; Live shows: usually Capo II

I tabbed this version from numerous YouTube live videos, which clearly show 
Ritter's use of simple, high-necked chords that let the open e & B strings 
ring (contrary to other submittals for this song). Easier alternative chords 
for a fuller sound can be found at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!

Verse:
E5                                 B5
These chords are old but we shake hands
A5                                 B5
'Cause I believe that they're the good guys
We can use all the help we can, 
So many minor chords outside 
I fell in love with the sound, 
Oh I love to sing along with you 
We got tunes we kicked around, 
We got a bucket that the tunes come through

Chorus:
E5                B5 - A5     -      B5  
Babe we both had dry spells, hard times in bad 
E5     -     B5   -   A5       A5
Lands I'm a good man for ya, I'm a good man

E5 - B5 - A5 , A5

E5                                   B5 
Last night there was a horse in the road
A5                     B5
I was twisting in the hairpin
My hands held on my mind let go
And back to you my heart went skipping
I found the inside of the road
Thought about the first time that I met you 
All those glances that we stole
Sometimes if you want them then you've got to 

Chorus/instrumental

E5                            B5
They shot a Western south of here
A5                          B5
They had him cornered in a canyon 
And even his horse had disappeared
They said it got run down by a bad, bad man 
You're not a good shot but I'm worse
And there's so much where we ain't been yet 
So swing up on this little horse
The only thing we'll hit is sunset 

Chorus/ instrumental

Repeat chorus, repeat "I'm a good man" several times

End E5

Alternate (easier) progressions I came up with: 
E=022100 or 079900, B=024400 or 069900*, A=042200  
(* this alt. B fingering is played only after using the high-fretted E; use 
024400 after every A chord). Regardless of which way you play, your index 
finger does a lot of string mashing!
