Tuning: Standard
Sixth song on the album. This song features a mandolin playing the main riff,
but I have tabbed the riff for guitar. Like other songs on the album, this one
has a little walk up riff that is often played right before going into a chord.
In this instance it's played before playing the G chord in the verse and is 
played as follows:
E|--0-2-3--| Simple enough. 
You can also walkup from Am to C in the chorus of the song by playing this:
A|--0-2-3--|
CHORDS USED:
Am: x02210
F:  xx3211
G:  320033
C:  x32010
E:  022100
