Lay It Down Chords

   
I have no idea what the other version of this tab is about, maybe there is more 
than one version of the song. I sat down with the "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" album 
and came up with this. It's my first tab, but I think it at least will give you 
the basic structure and chords of the song.
