This song is off the album The Road to Here but those of you that watch the TV show True
will know the song from that.
You can do this song in 2 different tunings. You can do it in Double drop D (D A D G B
or D A D G A D.
I think the Original track is done in Double drop D but D A D G A d has a nice sound to it.
