Going to Maine
By John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats
Tabbed by Dan Cobb

Darnielle bars the chords as you can hear with the bassline pickup note
 in the recording, but I'm a wuss so I just capo the 4th fret and drop
 the pickup note :D
Listen to the song for strumming pattern.
These chords are with no capo, but are played at the 4th & 6th frets
