Tuning:

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).] AMY:

Now you ask me why I'm here; the same as you, I'm scared, it's fear I've become the beggar now, and you've become the saint somehow Twist the words and place the blame, and tell me know, aren't we the same?
