	       Don't Play Cards With Satan - Daniel Johnston
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Christian Demmings
Email: cdemmings@hotmail.com

Tuning: Daniel Johnston signature tuning; or some crazy, off-version of Standard. If
like to replicate the live version off the 1990 album, turn all your keys a 1/4 turn in
directions and punch your guitar, rather than strumming it. He seems to play it 
every performance.

This tab is how I play it. On the G and C chords I'm really only strumming the E, A, and
strings, and picking the G string each time. Satan!
