Dan Benz (DanSumthing@wi.rr.com)

This is a great song from an incredible album. I heard the intro to this
and I had to tab the whole thing. Easily my best tab, it took me a long
time because I wanted to get every note right.
For the acoustic verse and bridge, I tabbed each note out the way it's
played on the album, but if you'd rather just play the chords, they're
written above the tablature. See below for chord fingerings.
