HAND ME DOWNS (Amy Ray)
-----------------------
[Amy and Emily play pretty different parts in this song.  Amy plays in
 the key of G with a capo on the 2nd fret; Emily plays in A with no capo.
 Because of this discrepancy, I'm going to list the entire song twice.
 First Amy's part, then Emily's.]
[Most of the Emily part wasn't figured out by me; credit for that goes to
 Scot Ninneman (scotjohn@leland.stanford.edu).]
