In Twenty Years or So

From the album Pure Comedy
DGCFAD (Standard tuning dropped a whole step)
 Not tabbing the strumming pattern, but it’s easy to figure out by listening.

 The G7 and G6 can also be played like this (probably what Josh plays), but, without the 
piano, I like the
 sound of the way I have them tabbed above.
