Capo 2 for this.  All chords relative to that position.

Scott picks the root of each chord and then the D,G,B,G,B strings in that order.  There
occasional walks and "Scottisms" mixed in there (i.e. pulls/hammers/walks).  They're
easy to figure out on your own if you get this far. He also strums in parts for dramatic 
but the chords don't change. It's a beautiful song and I felt it worth posting.
is my first attempt at posting a song.  Any comments/suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
