By Josh Ritter
Tabbed by Tom(tkforeverer@yahoo.com)
Props to Abe who helped me out a bit <3.
Not a 100% sure but it sounds pretty ok. Also not sure about the song title, it's new
and I recorded it at a concert and really couldn't see the chords.
Welcome to all comments so I can correct. Thanks <3.

E Major 022100
E/C# x02100
