NOTE: Having not found any useful or accurate chords for this song, I decided it 
was time to put out my first transcription. Some think this is played in Open D 
tuning, but I think that's a pain, so this chart uses standard tuning. There are 
some weird and subtle chord changes in this song, and though I'm missing some (I'm 
not a guitarist per se) this chart should be pretty darn close. Enjoy!
