"sound more like the ballpark to me...allright guys"

this song is not played on a guitar - it's played on a mandolin, which explains
the high numbers.  
if you play mandolin, i'll help you out.  here you go:

                                 guitar              mandolin
on the first string:  		 15th fret    -        3rd fret
           "                     17th fret    -        5th fret
           "                     20th fret    -        8th fret
           "                     22nd fret  -         10th fret

                        g.                      m.  
on the second string:   17th fret     -    7  (or the first string open)
