Chords for acoustic guitar

Tabbed by Psychiropractor

This is my second tab--a beautiful, bittersweet number. Obviously, I've left out
all the little frills and musical niceties, so this is just gonna be a basic
bare-bones rundown sorta deal. Enjoy...

Standard tuning (EADGBe)

First, here's the hook lick:

|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
|--2---2--0---0----2---2--0---0----2---2--0------|
|-----------3---------------3---------------3----|
|---------------------------------------------3--|

Now, as to the song proper:
