Tuning: Standard
Sixth song on the album. This song features a mandolin playing the main riff,
but I have tabbed the riff for guitar. Like other songs on the album, this one
has a little walk up riff that is often played right before going into a chord.
In this instance it's played before playing the 
G+G chord in the verse and is
played as follows:
E MajorE|--0-2-3--| Simple enough.
You can also walkup from 
A minorAm to 
C majorC in the chorus of the song by playing this:
A augmentedA|--0-2-3--|
CHORDS USED:
Am: x02210
F: xx3211
G: 320033
C: x32010
E: 022100

END
"See my mule don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy
idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize like
I know you're going to, I might convince him that you
really didn't mean it."
