== INTRODUCTORY NOTES ==
===================================================================
This song of course sounds best if you tune the guitar down half
a step, but it's not necessary. The chords listed below are all
relative to position, not pitch. For example, anything listed as
an "E" is really "Eb", due to the lower tuning, but it's been
named "E" because the fingering is the way you'd play an "E" if
the guitar were in standard tuning, and so on...
A lot of the chords in this song aren't listed because they're
created by strumming different variations in the transition from
one chord to another. It's hard to explain, but you should get a
feel for it while playing through or listening to the song. The
"D" chord in the chorus sections is a good example of this. It's
not always a straight "D", but sometimes it's a "D7", "Dsus2", or
"Dsus4" (depending on how it's being improvised). The chords I
have listed are the basic framework, which will get you through
the song, but you'll have to listen closely if you really want to
learn all the little variations of stuff that are thrown in there.
