Well this is my first official tab so bare with me on this one.
I think this is one of the best Taproot songs out there and it
took me a while to figure out the right tuning and, hopefully,
the right chords. So tell me what you guys think and send any
comments and/or corrections to me at frzn_drgn@hotmail.com
