This is my shot at it. Damn good way to learn a tune. Tab It! I shoot for perfection, so please guide me there is needed. :) As is the case with some of Dave's live stuff, the lyrics are questionable. Do you know the meaning of this song. It's worth the research. Tabbed from Dave & Tim at Wittemore Center, Durham, NH. Bass Line is prominent throughout (Hit It!).
