Rant: I have been playing for a long time, but this is my first time submitting a 
TAB. I just couldn't let a song this good be so very very poorly interpreted (as 
with the other versions of the TABs for this song... I mean do you know how much 
work it is to tune you whole guitar down a half step? There is a reason they 
invented the Capo!


NOTE: This song has a really fun moving bass line which I write out using the 
actual chord notation ( e: E/Am). When you see this type of notation you insert 
the note on the left of the slash (in this case 'E') into the lowest position of 
the chord indicated to the right of the slash (in this case Am). 


Standard Tuning - - - Capo 2

She swore out the lights when she said that she was

Dm                      Am          E/Am        C/Am   G/Am
Only in it for the rain 


Am              E/Am          C/Am    G/Am                
She made of her bed a naive nativity 

Dm                                          Am          E/Am        C/Am   G/Am
Just in case it became a just in case

Her thirteenth finger my whiskey drink 

Am                      E/Am               C/Am          G/Am
And she wept at the scene as the ambulance drove off

 Dm                                                Am          E/Am        C/Am    G/Am
