	    ABaby (x02220@1)for Pree (Live at Jittery Joe's) - Jeff Mangum
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suggest finding someway to listen to this version before you try to play it. It would 
difficult just off the chords alone.

This is the LIVE AT JITTERY JOE'S version of the song, NOT the one on On Avery Island.

NOTE: His guitar is tuned slightly sharp when playing this song, so if you try to play 
the CD it will sound off. Even a capo on the first will be too sharp, you have to be just 
sharp. A flat sharp, if that makes sense.
