Tab by: J. Dekter (jdekter[at]gmail[dot]com)

Standard turning, played without a pick.

The "chords" listed atop the tab are named for their bass note. They are not really played as
chords, but are there as a quick reference for following along with the lyrics. Instances of 
strumming rather than picking are noted.
