***Authors Update August 2020. This tab is from 2005/2006 before I knew what an octave chord was.
It is an eccentric interpretation at best. I can't believe I still know my password here.
I'm editing to include some folks responses, but
leaving the original for internet history.
Glad this album has stuck around****
From "This is a long drive..."
tabbed by: Shane Moore aka Unseen_Hero
tuning: standard
This tab is my first submitted because i don't have enough time to submit the ones i
have. This one's damn close to perfect, since the other's were so bad. The only part
i'm unsure about is the last part when he sings "Broke every bone in my.." Exact
strumming for verse and bridge is not shown, it's not hard to figure out and it's a
waste of time to tab each one.

I actually think the verse goes like this:
E|------------|
B|------------|
G|------------|
d|-7-10-9-5-3-|
a|-x--x-x-x-x-|
e|-5--8-7-3-1-|
I just haven't really known modest mouse to play their music like that. But they do suprise me sometimes.
