Dark ..
            E*

(and repeat it twice more without words for the Outtro)

Chords:

E 022100	A 002220	B 224442

Notes:

E* means that the E is decorated by futzing it with an Em (as you can
hear in the song).  There is a lot of sliding in the song.   Not
currently possessing a slide, or knowing how to tune the guitar to an
appropriately to slide to this song, I just make do by sometimes sliding
the A up to 004440.  It sounds pretty good for the chorus.

Apologies in advance for lyrical errors.  By the way, does anyone out
there know "Murder, Tonight, in the Trailer Park?"

Rob

P.S.  This group has brought me closer to a lot of cool music.  Thought
it high time I started to return the favor.  Thanks!
