------------------------
The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com

Tuning: DGDGBD (Open G), with capo at 3rd fret.  All fret numbers are in relation to the capo.

This one was a little tougher to tab out because Rich is low in the mix and there are
overdubs on the album version, so I had to resort to the Rockpalast video on youtube
 This is a loose transcription of the basic parts of this song.  As with any Black
song, improvising some of the rhythms and fills is encouraged.

Intro/Verse
Riff A
D-----------|
B-----------|
G-----------|
D--0-0-0-0--|
G--0-0-0-0--|
D-----------|

On the album, it seems like one guitar is dedicated to repeatedly playing these 
open
while a separate guitar plays the following passage:

Riff B
D-----------------------------------------|
B--0-1-3-5-0-3--0-1-3-5-0-6--0-1-3-5-5-0--|
G-----------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------|
G-----------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------|

During live versions however, it seems like Rich plays a combination of both riffs A and B.

Chorus
D-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G-------------------------------|
D--7--5-7--7--7-5-7-------------| x8
G--7--5-7--7--7-5-7--5-7--------|
D------------------------3-4-0--|

This part is hard to hear on the album (thanks to Marc Ford drowning it out), but this
what I could gather from the youtube video.

You might also want to try this, which is a combination of the rhythm part that's 
(as far as I can tell) played and the part that's most audible in the mix:

D-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------|
D--7--5-7--7--7-5-7-----------|
G--7--5-7--7--7-5-7--0--------|
D----------------------3b4-0--|

Solo Rhythm
D--------------------|
B--1----0----1----0--|
G--0----0----0----0--|
D--2----0----2----0--|
G--0----0----0----0--|
D--------------------|

These chords are held out.

Outro
D------------------------|
B------------------------|
G----/5--4---------------|
D-----------/5--3--2-----|
G----/5--4---------------|
D--0--------/5--3--2--0--|
