CROSS CANADIAN RAGWEED
"LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER"
GARAGE

I have seen this tabbed on several places but something never sounded exactly right.  
other day I stood in the first row of a Ragweed show and watched Cody to figure out what 
was doing different.  Here is what I think I saw him do.  Has anyone tabbed the intro?
