Revelator (Live)
by Gillian Welch w/ Ryan Adams


I just tabbed out the basic things that people were asking for
in this song.  It took a while, but I think I finally got the
chords down pretty close to how they sound.  I also hope I didn't
slaughter the solo too much...It's such a beautiful song.  If
anyone has any comments or suggestions, feel free to email me.
