Damien Jurado - The Killer

This is a wonderful song, that you can't find anywhere unless you happen to catch it 
live.  I tabbed this from two separate videos found here:

There is a funny chord at the end of the progression technically called an Faddb2, but 
for easy sake just play like this: F (e 002431 E), the G* is his favorite chord I think 
but it has no official name. Played like this G* (e 000003 E)

UPDATE:  If your going to just strum the song, play the G* normally as (e 300023 
E), and the F as an F/C (e 012330 E).

Questions and Comments greatly appreciated.

CAPO: 4

Progression:
Am > C (hammer on D string) > G* > F

Intro:
Am > C > G* > F

Am              C
Go put out the fire
    G*                           F
And I'll meet you on the other side
Am                C
Walk with me alone
     G*                            F
I will not harm you, Or let you die


Am                       C
The paper said I'm a killer
   G*              F
Papers lie


Am                   C
Tomorrow we will drive
    G*                        F
To North California state line
Am                    C
If you call off the guns
G*                   F (extend)
I'll call off the dogs

Am                 C
Go put out the fire
    G*                          F
Boy, I'll meet you on the other side
Am              C
Walk with me alone
    G*                               F
Just might cut you, Or leave you to die

Am                        C
The papers said I'm a killer
   G*                        F
The papers were right


Am                  C
Tomorrow we will drive
G*                       F
To your brand new burial site
Am                     C
If you call off the guns
G*                  F
I'll call off the dogs
Am                     C
If you call off the guns, well,
G*                  F
I'll call of the dogs...

(pluck)
Am > C > G* > F x2

(strum)
Am > C > G* > F x2

(more intensity)
Am                     C
If you call off the guns
G*                  F
I'll call off the dogs
Am                     C
If you call off the guns, well,
G*                  F
I'll call of the dogs...

Am                   C
They'll never find you
G*                        F
They'll never catch me, no no…   x2
