  The Fools We Are As Men - Ryan Adams 
 --------------------------------------

(from side 4, GOLD limited edition)

tabbed by Björn Ericson (apan.ola@purpleturtle.com)

to my great despair, that there was no Ryan directory to be found. 
How can this be? I thought. Someone ought to be punished for this...
or something. Anyway...so...this is my first tab-posting on the
net...(TADA!)...sort of a groundbreaking event...

I obviously love this song (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered transcribing
it), and though I am sure that it's not 100% accurate, it's how I play it
and it sounds good to me.

    play the verse riff as interlude and have your mandolin-playing 
    friend figure out what to play along with it)
