DISCLAIMER: Although the metadata up top says the song is in Open D tuning, it is in fact in Open D6/9 tuning,
that is, *DADF#BE*. Jose Gonzalez uses this tuning a lot, but I couldn't find it in the menu while making this
tab so therefore I've settled it like so.

Wow. I've always loved this song and made it work in standard tuning, but this is incredible. Thanks for taking the time to put together such a perfect sounding, comprehensive tab.
