Milk Thistle - Conor Oberst (and the Mystic Valley Band) I started posting corrections on the other tab then decided I had enough to do a new Go down and read what I mean by B11 first because I don't know the real chord name.

(At the end of a verse hammer on to the 3rd fret of the A string - so when you get to you play the bass string (E:-3-) then hammer on (A:-2h3-) then play the bass string again it's really simple and obvious when you listen to the song.)

Notes: B11 - I'm not sure the real chord name so I'll tab it out instead. E|--- A|-2- D|-1- G|-2- B|-0- e|-0- C** - In the live version I have on video at this point after a brief strum he plays: E|-------------| A|-------------| D|-------0h2p0-| G|-0h2p0-------| B|-------------| e|-------------| But on the album version he doesn't so it's a nice variation to include if you want.
