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.

** 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. **
