(SORT OF) TABBED BY: David L.
E-MAIL: regante@yahoo.com

This is my first tab, and it's mostly based on another tab that, to my chagrin, I can't
anymore. Thus, I cannot claim that this tab is my own, though I did make some
to it. This is not how the song is played by the band, but it sounds very good for a 
acoustic rendition. All comments, corrections, whimsical musings, etc. are welcome!

==== TUNING ====

CAPO 2

| D |
| B |
| G |
| D |
| A |
| E |

The high E string should be tuned down a full step, so it is the same as the third fret
the B string.


==== CHORDS ====

    G6   Dadd9   Am   C/D    C    F7M
-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----|
-----3-----3-----1-----1-----1-----1-----|
-----0-----2-----2-----0-----0-----2-----|
-----0-----0-----2-----0-----2-----3-----|
-----1-----0-----0-----0-----3-----0-----|
-----2-----1-----------------0-----------|

The strumming pattern is very simple, and is best acquired from listening to the song
trying to play along with it. Roughly speaking, in most cases it's something like this:

-----------------------------------------
G6         Dadd9      Am               C/D
D-DU  UDU  D-DU  UDU  D-DU  UDU  UDU  UDU
-----------------------------------------

And no, those aren't protons and neutrons, they're strokes. (Smile if you get that!)
