Bottomland - Wrinkle Neck Mules
Track 7 - The Wicks Have Met (2007)
---------------------------------------------------------
Standard tuning
I've used the B chord in the tab as a timing placeholder - it's really a grace note that 
transitions between chords, and follows the bass line.  Don't play the whole chord, just the 
root B note, and maybe the open D string, like this (first line of intro):  
e|--C0--B---Am---G2--Am---|
B|--1-----1--2--1--|
G|--0-----2--0--2--|
D|--2--0--2--0--2--|
A|--3--2-----2-----|
