Tabbed out by request from Justin, this version is based off of a live bootleg ("Live at 
Steamboat on 2003-05-03") from archive.org. The numbers on the bottom indicate 
fingering; travis-pick throughout.

**Tuned to CAFCGC: 1 step down from standard, both Es dropped an additional 1 step**

** From here on out, play the intro with the 0670x8 ending, then alternate verse + 
#1 through the "coast to coast" bit.  The song pretty

much ends on chorus #1 with the 0670x8/0890x10 ending from the intro, followed by the 
open-C thing. **
