BmParched land on Adesert sand the Gsun was just a F#sus4dot. F#And a Bmlittle bit of
water goes a Along way 'cause it's Ghot. BmThree good buddies were Dlaughing and
smoking in the Eback of a rented FordEm. They Bmcouldn't know they Aweren't
going Gfar. Bm(7th freE7/Bt BAR for Bm7all these E7/Bchords)
BmEach one with the Emoney in his pocket could Dgo out and buy himseElf a brand new
carBm. But they Dall held the Emoney they had, the Gmoney they hoped would takAme
them very far.Bm  F#m  Em

Song is in Key of D so Blues Runs in B work great. Matter of fact B runs
mixed with a little D work good together. I have good luck with B runs.
Note: Buck plays smoothly fast, so get the jist of the song as tabbed and
bend a few notes, hammer on a few and play it smoothly. It is not that easy
to tab this song with feeling. I hope you listen and enjoy.
We used to practice Bm A G F#sus4 F# Bm A G A progressions while playing
the Runs, Blues licks in B and D over it just to get the feel.
