NOTE: Jay Smith does many versions of this song. He plays it in many different
keys and changes the lyrics, etc. So what I decided was to tab the CD
version (which I believe this to be) and then someone requested a live
version of which there are many to choose from. For all of the tabs here
I included the video I used to make the tabs from. Please take this into
consideration when using these tabs. Thanks

============== LIVE VERSION ==============
NOTE: This tab is in standard tuning. I do believe that Jay Smith
is either tuned down a half step or more and/or in an
alternate tuning. This explains why the chords here are NOT
the ones he plays in this live version but sound like them.
