Not transcribed or type in by me, but could you please add this to the ftp archives? Here's the rendition of the song as played on the ACL show last year, and it follows Shawn's guitar style very closely. Luckily, I taped it and the camera man was nice enough to focus on her left hand for much of the set. Please excuse my chord names, as I have little knowledge of musical theory or chord nomenclature. Shotgun Down The Avalanche (Shawn Colvin, J. Leventhal) Guitar: dropped D tuning (DADGBE - low to high), capo V.
