     ** NOTE **  
     
     This version augments the TAB work of Michael Hanson by giving a complete 
     transcription of the song with the chords and fingerings notated from the 
     capo (at the 4th fret) as opposed to the nut.  The chords are slightly 
     different from Michael Smith's chord transcription, but the lyric is 
     exactly the same.  My work was done independently, and is humbly submitted 
     to improve on what is already in existence in this suberb archive.  Enjoy!

     This key to this song is getting the back-and-forth bass lines, and 
     following the tempo (which I have done my best to designate).  I would 
     recommend using a flat pick and -- in general -- let it ring!  Give a 
     listen to the CD (which I would highly recommend if you don't already have 
     it).  This will help with the vocal line as it changes from chromatic keys 
     like G to F# and back -- really, this is what makes the song sound so cool.
     
     Have fun!  I welcome any comments or corrections:
