I saw a few tabs for this song but I felt they were both incorrect and Didn't do
this song any justice. It's an amazing song! This is a pretty accurate guitar tab
of the song, I believe, based on the version of Coffee in "Beneath Medicine Tree".
I hope my work has paid off and will help you out. Enjoy and tell me what you think!
/ = slide
h = hammer on
