I originally posted this under Tom Morrello not the Nightwatchman a few years ago, and
had a look and saw someone said I should post it under the Nightwatchman, so hear it is!

Tabbed by: Sarah Davies
Artist: The nightwatchman (Tom Morello)
Album: Axis of Justice Concert series 1
Tuning: Tuned half a step down, Capo 7th fret-
Although I just play it standard with capo on 6th fret.
