This is one of my favourite songs so I took my time to get this one. It sounds just
about right - even the intro, which is played on a banjo, sounds good. Usually the guitar
just plays chords for the intro, but I translated the banjo riff into guitar and it sounds right.
Tuning: D tuning D G C F A d (which is just standard tuned a whole step down)
If a chord has a * beside it, it means you only strum it once. E.g. C* means you strum
a c chord once downwards.
If a word has a dash in the middle of it, it is because the chord doesn't change until
partway through that word, which is after the dash.

I'm looking past the shadows

In my mind into the truth and I'm

And break these call-uses off of me
Bb C A
One more time...
