This is taken, from chords by Derwood and adding all of the lyrics. Feel free to post under your own name.
I can't believe that this isn't tabbed anywhere yet. It's only the best song on
the album! Sometimes, you just have to do things yourself.
This is in standard tuning. I've written it out in standard chords, though I know that
Neil uses alternate chord forms. Either way, it sounds fine this way.
