This is off Vol. 6 of the Desert Sessions.... wow, I love the
feel of this song! Throw a bunch of reverb on your guitar, tune
it down half a step and you're all set! =)
Tuned Down a Half-Step (EADGBE)
Verse:
This is the basic verse, the first part is repeated a certain
number of times before playing the 2nd part. This number varies
throughout the song, so you'll really need to listen to it.

D MajorD|-----2-2------|-----------------------2--2-2-2-0-------------

E MajorE|---------0-3--|----------------------------------------------
"Since you're gone..."
Chorus:
This is the basic chorus, it's slightly different each time
they play it so you can improv a little with these notes. The
~ indicates whammy bar.
