To Live is to Fly ~ Townes Van Zandt
There are other tabs that are right, but incomplete after the first verse.
The chord progression needed to be separated from the verses and the choruses.
It's confusing on which is which, without tabbing out whole song.
G * = Open D shape on the 7th fret. That’s how Townes played it.
