That's it. It repeats this for about 20 minutes, except for the crescendo.

^ You're retarded ... 1st fret is relative. Regard the capo as the nut so that the first fret is actually the 3rd fret, and so on.

I'm no sure what these people are complaining about. Aside from a note our two this is pretty damn good. I've seen him play it with a capo on two and in the key of C which is what this is so... Nice job.

If you think that this tab is way off then, I'm sorry, but that's a reflection of your inability to play the song. This tab isn't perfect, but it's damn close, and a really good foundation. Not to mention that even in the recording Arlo doesn't play it exactly the same all the way through (although granted he doesn't change it up all that much). I added some notes here and there, and the way I play it is still ever so slightly off from the original, but you would never know it if you heard me play it.
